You don’t understand Ted’s approach to H1B.
And the topic has been addressed countless times on FR so it’s not a sincere question from you, rather it’s just another heckling jibe on your part to get undeserved attention.
Here’s the reason we need it:

No, we do not “need” 350,000 tech workers. That is a bold faced lie design to appease the corporations wanting cheaper labor. In no way does having cheaper foreign tech labor good for America. If that was the case then everyone can kiss their jobs goodbye because everyone can be replaced by foreign workers.
Explain to me exactly how everyone not having a job is good for Americans?? Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Those people are the subject of the L-1 program instead. The H-1B's are basically commoditized knowledge workers (engineers, geophysicists, coders, cert-holding sysops) who are brought in to break wages of skilled workers. Often they're on contract to a white-collar meat-market like Tata International, who once got caught signing contracts with their knowledge workers who were going to H-P that amounted to indenture bonds, which have been illegal in the United States since before the Civil War. I actually don't know how that case turned out, but I'll warrant Tata and H-P aren't doing it that way any more.
