Tech jobs and their corresponding H1-B visa issues are so often written and spoken about. Americans feel taken advantage of and cheated out of jobs by cheap workers from other countries. Immigrants simply arrive here recognizing that there is an opportunity to capitalize on the laziness of others. When an American born person is willing to work for $x, you will find an eager immigrant willing to work for $(x-1).
It seems that instead of considering lower salaries, some people here prefer to remain unemployed and taking social benefits (for which by the way H1-B immigrants and international students are not eligible). Are those social security checks really still larger than simply a lower salary check?
It would be very nice if the country could treat immigrants better who spend close to and often over $100k on their educations in US universities, who keep the rules and never work illegally.
Would you say it’s fair that law-abiding international students should enjoy easier access to H1-B visas and greencards?

“Would you say it’s fair that law-abiding international students should enjoy easier access to H1-B visas and greencards?” I would say yes, well we got our due thru a separate quota in H1B and an increased OPT period, but this immigration hassles are never gonna end, are they?
