it's hard for you to be critical of a program that is displacing Americans from jobs in their own country by 1 in 5? I understand appreciating your opportunity but surely you can see this is bad for the future of this country. Our kids don't have a chance.
Like a lot of government programs it started out as a good idea, and then started to be abused by some bad actors.
Back in the late 90s there truly was a shortage of skilled IT professionals. Where I worked in South Africa we had recruiters from all over the world pitching opportunities at us. Some of my colleagues ended up in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and I picked the US. This was definitely not a case of trying to find cheap labor. Not to blow my own horn, but I am still earning well above average for what I do.
I graduated in 95, I was there. My generation was told go to college for these new opportunities. Fast forward to today, you're earning well above average while thousands of qualified americans are being passed over, unable to get work in this space.
