Apologies if I implied that it was. I think it's fine to discuss these things in a reasonable and rational way. My point is that was not happened over on X.

This is from yesterday's X discourse regarding the H1B program. The amount of mistruths and racism on the platform was staggering.

Anti-immigration rhetoric always descends into fiction.

I think you're assuming that everyone has a price.

Also H1Bs can't also start their own businesses (at least before this rule). So that was another restriction.

This would be a great way to starve every industry outside of tech of H1B workers.

As a non-immigrant to the United States, I don't really buy into the idea that companies prefer H1B candidates purely for financial reasons. The H1B process is frankly a rigid, unreliable and time-consuming process.

It's hard for even Canadians and Mexicans to find jobs in the US and we have access to the supposedly easy to obtain TN visa. Australians too with E3.

I'm more inclined to believe that H1B workers have other benefits to employers such as longer tenure due to the restrictions of moving jobs.

Which in itself should be an argument for further liberalization say by giving I140 approved petitioners access to EADs.
