Similar story here. My dad was a programmer, and I convinced my kids that the computer field always has jobs open. But with the number of H-1B visas increasing, who knows?

I, too, always appreciated learning about different languages and cultures and people all over the world. Many of us have worked, prayed, etc., with Americans (and visitors) from other countries.

We can appreciate all those things, but still point out how work visas - and other gov’t immigration policies - affect the job market.
For example:

Years ago, many naturalized Americans spoke a second language, but most employers didn’t require their employees to be bilingual. In fact, back then, a heavy accent might’ve hurt your chances at a job dealing with the public.

Nowadays, many employers advertise for employees who can speak Spanish fluently, especially in jobs dealing with the public.

Also, years ago, schools/colleges offered classes in many different beautiful languages - Italian, French, German, Spanish, etc. - that are spoken in many parts of the world.

Now the schools/colleges (around here) schedule only Spanish language classes. The other languages aren’t seen as important, anymore. (It seems we were more appreciative of different languages 30-plus years ago.)

Also, whenever the U.S. gov’t adopts a job market policy that favors people from other countries, it sends a message that American workers aren’t smart enough, hardworking enough, etc. And many of those workers from other countries believe that message. If Trump backs an increase in work visas, that’s the message he’ll be sending.

Sorry for the long rant. But it felt good to vent.
