There are tons of smart n capable East Europeans who should be working here on H1B visas. In fact we used to get more of them until the Indian body shop gangsters figured out how monopolize H1B visas. You find these “bargain” India H1B tech working in hospitals, state and city governments... Not just in computer outfits such as Microsoft.
I agree they are ubiquitous but I’d rather see those Europeans you refer to succeed in Europe and allow Americans to succeed here.
The narratives we are being sold are incredibly cynical and disingenuous. America needs to spend some time where Americans are the labor force and are paid a fair salary for the training, risk and ability needed for the job. When that is accomplished any areas that are unable to be filled by Americans or need very specialized talents can be addressed.
