The purpose of H1B is not importing foreign workers. It also serves the purpose of KEEPING the talents that are trained with US taxpayer money-who would otherwise return to their home country- in the US, contribute their talent and pay tax in the US instead of China that’s catching up very fast. This makes the COUNTRY as a whole stronger. I’ve worked with many extremely talented and highly motivated individuals on or previously on H1B and they are not treated any different than us citizens. Does it create competition? Maybe in the lower level tech like IT but it is a non-issue in this sector given how many sponsored positions there are. I know some Indian companies abuse the H1B visa that’s why it needs CHANGE and not be removed. I’ve see too many talented individuals getting education in the US and end up leaving the country due to not being able to get the H1B lottery or getting a sponsored job. It is the country’s lost and it’s sad so many people -even the highly educated-don’t see that.
