The H1B system tracks foreign workers. Without it, all foreign workers would be illegal. Duh.
When one defends this widely utilized system, one is labeled insane or unMAGA, by what I have suspected are glowing individuals. After all, we hate foreigners taking our jobs, or something.
It's a fake squeak.
Governments keep labor shortage lists, which they then 'advertise' to foreigners, so they can plug the gap immediately, instead of planning to make up the short-fall by other means, such as training people themselves. This, however, can be seen as a short-term solution, which will gradually stabilize as the training programmes kick in. So, pragmatically, maintaining skills-shortage lists works, as long as governments follow through with internal education programmes to fix the long-term.
Commonly these skills-shortage lists include doctors, nurses, teachers, and building trades, also IT. I know this sounds like a meme, because obvio "one finds H1Bs working in a fast-food joint, taking low-skilled American jobs, for cheap".
However, with an identifying system in place, one can differentiate, and if that is a 'digital' ID (i.e. the system is maintained online and publicly accessible) then one would be able to check on the spot, and audit lists satisfactorily. Otherwise, with traditional 'papers' It's a matter of audiitng employers, which has failed since forever - it also has totalitarian overtones - 'busting employers'.
Such digital ID systems work for civil engineers, for example. Registers are kept so that anyone can find the designer as legit. < this is the reason (tracking H1Bs) that I think Musk is involved, actually. And no, there is no rift between MAGA and Musk. That is fake news.
The social problems are caused by illegal immigrants working without paperwork at slave-labor rates, perhaps while locked into compounds, breaking laws because they are already illegal, etc. < very easy to harp on this aspect and equating these arseholes with H1B workers.
But what is one to do?
As I see it, the problems are not the people WITH paperwork. The job ahead for the Trump administration means getting rid of the criminals without such 'papers', and making the process of deciding which is which, be more efficient.
