The H1B issue has been abused and should be reformed. Those who have demonstrated skills in areas where there are more jobs than qualified Americans can fill, should be welcomed into the U.S. However, we should not confuse what we need. It’s not any warm bodies that are American, not DEI hires, not quota hires. You must have proven relevant skills regardless if you’re American or not for the position. If there are 10 jobs and only 8 American applicants with the required skills that have applied, then 2 qualified foreign applicants can be hired.

I’d rather that than having 10 Americans being hired with 8 fully qualified and 2 being DEI applicants lacking skills. Imagine being wheeled into a hospital for emergency heart surgery. Would you want a minimally skilled American DEI surgeon or a fully trained and skilled foreign doctor?
