  H1B recipients are horribly abused, true. But that’s because they’re used the way capitalism uses everyone it considers replaceable - grind them down and move onto the next. Doesn’t apply to - again - the literally best-on-the-planet engineers. They’re not coding for Xitter, they can walk at any time and find employment and citizenship elsewhere.

    “…they can walk at any time…”

    No, they often can’t. That’s one of the worst abuses imposed upon them.

      Engineers from Taiwan that have chip design skills? Yes, they can walk at any time.

      You’re taking a general case of H1B visa abuse–which is completely valid in broad terms–and applying it to a specialized case where the materials conditions are different.

        That seems an expectation formed based on opinion of how things should work, and not in any way a reflection of how US capitalist policy has ever actually worked throughout history.
