Those jobs are just gonna disappear. They won’t rehire with citizens.
How do you really solve the H-1B problem, though? I do agree that they exploit everyone and that there should be better protections for the workers and ideally a path to citizenship, but the whole corporate appeal of them is how easily exploitable they are. I feel like any effort to "fix" H-1B's is just going to end with the same result.
Which is not me implying that we shouldn't still try, but just ... how?
If the reason they want to remove it was to stop the abuse, I might be more open. But it’s not.
