Bill Gates has said on more than one occasion he’d like unlimited H1 Visas.
skilled immigrants aren’t the problem with H1 visas, but rather the fact that 1) employers lie about whether they can find the local talent 2) that the visa is tied to the employer and not the immigrant, meaning they’re not free to participate in the market. That’s what reduces jobs and brings down wages, this pipeline of cheap replacement workers who have to leave the country if they lose that job. IF the really was a shortage of talent it’s best that the imported workers are free to shop around.
Any of you Reagan fans? He granted amnesty to 3 million illegals in 1986. Are you saying that Obama’s Immigration policy is Reagan Like?
