most h1b don't have american degrees, nor do they have grad school degrees, let alone phd's from american universities, a small fraction maybe. they are by and large devry/itt tech level mass labor that will soon be replaced by ai and will be faced with the challenge of finding a way to stay here by taking whatever jobs remain or being deported back into a shithole where woldwide economic growth has stalled and governance problems proliferate. the h1b take what would otherwise be black and hispanic jobs and lower income white people jobs, basically any american citizen trying to "come up" whether it's a poor white or a 2nd gen immigrant, gets fucked because they can't compete with the global 1% (just the tip elon says -- it's never just the tip!). that 1% are very frequently the children of elites, so don't get me started about "meritocracy" and nationalism is evil. all of the statistics about the program and the low skill serf like labor it brings in are hilariously well documented and obvious to anybody with a little bit of time on their hands a computer like oh say all of the many currently unemployed american tech workers who might otherwise be inclined towards democrat/neoliberal/technolibertari an style eat your kids, cut off your own balls capitalism
