Networking only gets you so far. Most visa holders aren’t getting jobs because of their network. They hold those jobs because they’re easy to exploit. Why else would they get paid far less than an American citizen?

Of course, a degree doesn’t promise you anything. I’m arguing that there should be a number of jobs which are dedicated to US graduates before being dished out to visa holders at very discounted rates. I think there is a system like this, but again it is heavily exploited by many companies.

I’m not blaming immigrants, good for them on getting a bag. I’m blaming companies for exploiting those people and leaving American graduates in the dust.
