The program was established to allow employers in the U.S. to fill jobs with foreign workers temporarily when the could not find a qualified American...

That, my good sir is horesehit. H1-B visas allow American and foreign companies to operate in the global economy. No question the program has been abused, especially during the lawless Obama administration. The program was never intended to replace a single American worker and it ought never do that when properly managed and administered.

I’m convinced at least half of them do not know the difference between H1B visas and illegal immigration...they think they are one and the same.

You did not read what I wrote. Foreigners were to fill a job for which there was no American.
