The other thread about the h1bs and trump wanting to add a $100k price tag to them has a bunch of ignorant people in it, who do not understand how abusive companies are with h1bs. It's literally modern day indentured servitude. They pay low wages to the h1bs which in turn keep the wages they would pay to citizens low. They also hold the h1b visas hostage, as they can basically tell the employee, if you don't like the pay then you can go back home. It's a lose lose, and anyone suggesting it's not is naive at best and an idiot at worse.
If the Oligarchs and Corporations are calling for it, you can bet that it's bad for everyone else.
