As I’ve said, I’d be fine with zero immigration for the next decade—though we more importantly need to kick the illegals we have here now out.

But there is a difference between high and low levels of skills with immigrants.

High-skill immigrants (e.g., an Indian tech guy who ends up starting a successful tech company of his own within a decade) create jobs and wealth for Americans locally.

Low-skill immigrants are consistent, long-term drains on American taxpayers—at the same time they drag down the income of low-skill Americans.

One in a hundred do that. The H-1B visa program is a wage suppression scheme for the IT industry. Simple as that.
