Comments? ~~~~~~~~~ Just Abolish the H-1B Visa [...] these titans of American political history forged some of the most corrosive legislative deals that have led to our current national predicament: an unholy alliance of the nation's worst lobbies. Unsurprisingly, the steak dinners provided by business, immigration, and tech lobbies paid off for their clients when Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1990, the most successful major immigration reform bill of its generation, creating the H-1B visa. This legislation, sponsored by Sen.

Tech corporations began booming in the two decades before the bill's enactment in 1990. Silicon Valley alone experienced roughly 130% growth in high-tech jobs, the IT industry grew dramatically, and fears began to abound that there would soon be a worker shortage in this rapidly growing sector of the American economy. Understandably, by the late 1980s, industry leaders wanted to see continued growth in a way that would keep labor costs low and profits high, leading them to sic an army of lobbyists on Capitol Hill to peddle the narrative that a labor shortage would soon arrive and cripple the industry. Congress fell—and, to this day, continues to fall—for this unproven industry narrative hook, line, and sinker. [...] https://www.commonplace.org/p/just-abolish-the-h-1b-visa
