> Frankly I don't care if I'm fairly displaced. That's meritocracy at work.

Right, The concept of a "meritocracy" only works if everyone is agreeing to the core tenets. If any group starts expressing in-group bias, then that group exponentially grows and will end up displacing all other, more meritocratic, groups.

H1Bs visas allow for corporations to sidestep meritocracy because they can leverage the foreigner into 70 hour work weeks.

F1 visas allow for corporations to sidestep meritocracy because they get a five year exemption on some taxes for that employee.

etc for all the programs.
