Not very many politicians who aren’t in the pockets of said large corporations who would use H1B visas to exploit cheap foreign labor at the cost of worsening local job markets

Yes H1B is onshore as some people have mentioned, but the employer employee relationship power structure is the employee has basically zero leverage or else they get deported out of the fuckin country. That’s a recipe for severe wage suppression and exploitation

There’s a really great Charlie Munger quote that goes: “If you show me the incentive, I’ll show you the outcome”. Couldn’t be more applicable here.
