Agree 100%. The reason is that the big tech contractors hire legions of H1-B visa holders (and lobbyists to protect the H1-B program). These workers are paid less than Americans and are tightly bound to their employer-- they risking losing their US status and will eventually be deported if they lose their jobs. Its another way corporate America uses the political system to abuse American workers, create a compliant workforce that can't easily get hired away. It limits opportunity here.
