You are badly misinformed. I came to USA on a student visa in 1960 to work on masters degree in mechanical engineering. F1-B visa did NOT EXIST in 1960. Stop making uninformed assumptions. It expires your low IQ
These are not meant for people to stay here. There are other paths for legal, up front, immigration.
Students and H1-Bs are not immigrants. They are temporary and for a set time period and purpose.
My wife and I know people who overstayed student visas, and they know they were supposed to leave, back then.
If you got hired on a student visa, that process now requires an H1-B from a student visa conversion, posting for it, after getting some expected - mandated - education, while in the US.
No, we do not need any H1-B or student visa conversions to such H1-B visas. There is nothing an American can't do, as you also noted, by stating you worked with a ton of US citizens in your jobs. You were just another cog in the machine.
We have no lack of cogs.
It is always amusing to see someone try to insult another for having “low IQ”, while the insult uses nonsensical non-applicable words (I think you wished you said “exposes”), and doesn’t even use proper punctuation.
