H1-B workers are essentially indentured servants. Well paid indentured servants, but indentured servants all the same. They’re usually hired because they can be compelled to work for less pay than an equally qualified citizen and forced to put up with things a citizen would never tolerate. It’s a purely exploitative system designed to play would-be immigrants against people who live here. And it works exactly as expected. The hiring company either saves money by underpaying them or by making them work twice as hard in hopes of not getting deported.

The best part is when someone on a H1-B thinks they are so much better than US citizens. Much like the folks who serve as offshore labor, some portion of them believe they were brought on board because of being the best. That’s not how Capitalism works. Whoever can be exploited better gets hired… unless they are a white male. Then it’s anybody’s guess as to whether they’re qualified at all 🤷🏾‍♂️ (some are… but some of y’all know perfectly well you bring nothing to the table aside from being pink lol)
