Rather than just be content with a workforce that’s “illegal” maybe we should just make it easier for those interested in work to cross legally with a work visa so they’re tax paying and authorized?
Like, instead of gating them out, if the issue is they’re undocumented then why not make the documentation process easier? Why not put more resources into tackling the backlog of court cases from immigrants, or improving their path to US citizenship?
The answer to why we’re not already doing these things is because it’s largely a manufactured issue to keep one side enraged with the other. If you don’t believe me ask the republican led house why they demanded a border security bill, helped create it and then voted against it.
Right, so if we pay them more, give them a path to citizenship and an appeals process how would that be worse than completely eliminating for something else that doesn’t exist yet?
Your mind seems made up on a rip and replace but there’s nothing else to replace it with, and it would be a lot easier to amend this thing which already exists than it would be to completely pass something else, and in the meantime between eliminating h1b and figuring out what else to do while immigrants who want to come here legally will have to wait.
What sort of reform would you be interested in?

Good news! The Biden Administration is improving h1b to include what you listed here!

Why? Anything can be improved, and it’s a solid foundation.
Based on this and your previous comments over the last few days I’m having a hard time believing you’re arguing in good faith here.

What’s bad about it? You haven’t actually said anything beyond your feelings on it.
It’s not biased to ask for someone else’s thoughts lol.
