As a current H1B visa holder, I fully understand the sentiments from both the sides. The current lot of folks who are on visa need to understand that this is a temporary visa that gets issued. It should not be considered a way to expect this country to have you permanently.
Its high time everyone that are on visa understands this.

I strongly advocate that this process needs a revamp. There are numerous ways in which small and large firms are abusing this and brining in folks

People also need to understand that this is not 2021-2022 or even 2015-2020. Lots of people in tech are out of work right now. New grads can't find entry level roles. Seniors can't find roles. Directors and VPs can't find roles. Companies announce more layoffs every week. Hiring is slow or non-existent at many companies. There are plenty of qualified Americans available, and they need to come first.

Exactly ! A countrys government has to think about its people. And they are absolutely right about brining whatever reforms they need to bring.

It’s interesting that as an H1B visa holder you are so emboldened to tell US citizens that we need protection from highly skilled people like yourself. It’s not that no one can accept that some people abuse the system. That is not unique to people here on work visas. Immigration has always been a critical aspect of the American economy. Immigration, and specifically H1B visas, is low on the list of things in this country requiring a revamp. Immigration, and specifically H1B visas, are not the cause of inflation, unemployment, high housing costs, women’s rights being rolled back, an increasingly partisan Supreme Court, human rights violations, constitutional violations, etc.

Folks that may or may not be skilled. There has to be a skillbased admission and a validation to confirm that a position cannot be filled by a US born citizen ..

This is to protect the American citizens. No one can accept thr fact that people from other countries can come here, abuse the system , earn money, and feel entitled to get a green card and citizenship when their own ppl are struggling

Sure, I’m ears. But I will be coming into that conversation supporting immigration via work visas. I also would like to call to attention that many of the visas are specialized jobs in industries that don’t pay well. So using salary is not a valid approach IMO.

No where I have said that h1b is the real problem. I am suggesting that this program needs a revamp. It has to be skill based.
Also whoever enters USA considera staying here permanently as a right and not a privilege. There has to be an acceptance by us visa holders that this is a temporary situation which we all signed up for.

Few Desi consultancies and WITCH companies have abused the system to such an extent that both Bernie and Donald are against H1B right now. The lottery system needs to be revamped and transparency needs to be improved
