Mutherfucker, she just proposed legislation to BAN H1-b visas, because she doesn't think Trump is going hard enough on getting rid of immigrants. Her problems with Trump DO NOT align with yours. At all.
I do feel like the H1-B visa system is completely broken though. You're telling me you "can't find" a cloud engineer in the US, so you just have to import one from India or wherever? It's all just fraud to let companies undercut the American labor market.
Exactly. The H1-B program has been so abused by the tech industry that it's basically just indentured servitude.
Bring in low-cost labor from India, including their families, then tie their visa status to their employment so that if they're ever fired, they immediately get deported. Those workers are going to be too scared to demand better wages/benefits for fear of being fired, which drives down the cost of labor for US citizens in the same industry who now have to compete for jobs against these workers.
And all the while, companies get to "sane wash" what is essentially the same thing as the "outsourcing" that they were all so maligned for in the 2000s.
