I want to eliminate the H1B system, although I’m ok with letting in smart, hard working immigrant.
An H1B is tied to his sponsoring company, which will force him to work at below-market wages. A full immigrant, able to choose who to work for, will maintain wage levels.
Immigration short circuits the free market for domestic labor. If wages were allowed to follow market forces then higher wages would induce more to go into this grueling meat grinder field. Now we just import cheap 3rd worlders and wonder why nobody is majoring in STEM.
