finished h1bs and sponsoring student -> work vias have been a huge problem for 15+ years. there is a complete racket within the business world and in india/china to game the system so no us citizen can be found, but magically some 22-30 year old from india/china fits the bill. h1bs are paid like actual dogs, and are willing to endure living on ludicrously substandard wages, because the company at the end will sponsor them for a greencard/premanent residency. in effect business can sell citizenship and reap tremendous savings in wages. if they select people that are just "competent" enough and learn only highly specialized skills pertaining to that business, they can continue to reap wage savings. europe should really be way more concerned about this program. we already have a ton of white eu students, a large chunk have to return because white eu students aren't willing to accept shit wages for potential citizenship when they are allready a citizen of a western country.
