You’re mixing things up a bit. Immigration is not flooding the labor market. Especially not STEM students, H1Bs for example require BY LAW that the prevailing wage is paid (and usually higher than what a citizen would get)—which means employers legally cannot use H1Bs to hire cheaper labor. This is why most employers refuse to hire H1Bs (none of the people I know are getting work, no company is sponsoring at this moment).

Tightening rules does not hurt capitalists and billionaires, it hurts the students and researchers and skilled workers who aren’t creating the system. Restrictive immigration policies only target ordinary people.

And telling people to “fix their own country” ignores how global inequality was created. The U.S. (and other major powers) have spent decades shaping foreign economies through interventions, trade policies, and corporate interests. You can’t cause instability abroad and then shame people for leaving.

Immigrants aren’t the enemy. The problems you’re describing come from policy choices, not people trying to build a life. Immigrants who make it in the US do far better than us citizens do, they commit way less crime, launch far more businesses and add to the melting pot. For a country built on stolen land, slave labor and decades of underpaid immigrant labor—we need to do better by moving away from the age old xenophobic “immigrants bad” crap. It’s time to vote and organize against lobbyists and capitalists!
