The media just keeps fanning their flame, every day it's something new. Goddamn YouTube algorithm tricks from the executive branch. They feed each other.

Their ego cannot be satisfied. Their ego is not a national priority. Stop talking about them, stop tweeting, everything they say gets walked back days later, it's a soap-opera; meaningless drama.

They can't invent new laws, stop pretending like they can, stop being fearful of them, just ignore them and watch them wilt. Half of you in the comments are already considering the implementation details of this as if it was a fait accompli.

If you desperately need to do something productive, work out how the opposition party has been so catastrophically ineffective for the last generation, and doesn't seem to show any signs of changing.

If H1Bs were so destructive to the software industry, why would the software industry, which has the highest prevalence of H1Bs, be the industry with the highest growth in salaries for basically the past 2 decades?

Also, the idea that eliminating H1Bs will bring more jobs makes absolutely no sense.

If a company is asked to eliminate all their H1B positions, what do you think is more likely:

- they hire a completely new employee in the U.S. at a similar, or if the critics are right and H1B is suppressing salaries, higher salary, or

- they hire the exact same person but now with that person back in their home country and pay them a tiny fraction of what they were paying them in the U.S.?

There may be a handful of jobs where the employee needs to be in the U.S. where sure, a few more Americans will get jobs. But the overwhelming jobs will simply move abroad with the H1 employee, and along with that a whole bunch of dollars that were being spent within the U.S. and was paying US taxes will move abroad and be spent abroad and pay taxes abroad.
