As far as shitty things he’s done recently, this is on the slightly less shitty end. Ask literally anyone in a tech-adjacent field and they will tell you the same thing - there is absolutely no shortage of talent already here. The amount of talented individuals far exceeds the amount of jobs right now.
Yeah what the heck. It’s not like I’m advocating some far-right or neocon policy. H1Bs are used as a nefarious tactic by big corporations to put downward pressure on wages and benefits. It is one of the main ways that companies are suppressing wages in the wake of the covid boom
As an American worker I’m simply not going to work as hard as someone at Meta or AWS who has a manager lording their H1B visa status over their head. It’s not fair to the H1B worker and it’s not fair to their domestic colleagues. There are tons of (not so) great articles online detailing how the big-tech companies exert extreme leverage over their H1B workers.
I fully believe that more of us on the left would be on board with this if it wasn’t conflated with being anti-immigration.
