They’ll not hesitate to fuck over the h-1b holders
This is the entire point of the system. It’s to make them beholden to the company and entirely disposable. It’s also set up to be rampantly ageist. What happens after the 3/6 year term is up? Well, time to replace you with a new one, probably younger, because Jebus forbid we pay you market rates for your seniority! Away with you…
A far more healthy option would be to offer full citizenship to the workers we supposedly cannot source locally. That doesn’t put the company in the driver’s seat. It would benefit America, though, by having this talent come here, grow roots, and enrich the nation. We want to encourage smart people to come here and be full participants, not indentured servants that only stay here on a company’s whim. Hell, more than a few might even start businesses of their own, and in this free market system, aren’t we supposed to be celebrating that?
