I have a friend of Asian American (India) heritage who walks the very fine cultural line between being American and being Asian. She is constantly being torn between the two worlds and is often under a lot of stress because of it.
Her mother married her to a man from another country of Asian heritage so that he and his family who were all here in the USA illegally could stay via “chain migration”. His family is often violent and cruel because of her American tendencies & ideologies.
Now she is torn between the country where she was born and grew up (USA) and to illegal “immigrants” who don’t belong her but with whom she’s now married into.
I don’t care - there’s NO need for the H-1B visa - there are more than enough hands to do the work right here. Of course, now they’re shipping IT, administrative & other medical jobs offshore to them. For every ONE American worker, you can get 4-6 workers in India and the Philippines, followed by some other countries doing the same. No visa required.
A friend works for one of the H1-B loving consulting firms. He’s complaint is the Indians are getting too expensive in India. Too many management layers that have to be paid for, which drives the cost up.
