Fixing the immigration system abuse means enforcing our current immigration laws at the very least then deporting anyone in the country illegally. The next step is to eliminate citizenship by birth by any non-citizen in the country, family chain migration, government subsidies for immigrants, and all temporary work permits. Most of the fix is elimination. Any replacement laws need to favor anyone who can and will contribute to the country and wants to be an American, not just the benefits.

I am in complete agreement with you - America and Americans first. H1B is just another modern-day indentured servant program. They aren't even immigrants, just cheap temporary labor that can be abused and discarded when they outlive their usefulness. Americans will always win on an even playing field. If Elon and Vivek want to hire Indians, let them move their operations to India and pay tariffs to sell their products here. No one should reap the benefits of American business opportunities while shutting American workers out of the job market. I don't know about Vivek's financial support, but Elon benefitted handsomely from US government subsidies, also known as US taxpayer funding.

I do, however, suspect this kerfuffle is not what it appears to be. Elon's tweet quoting Tropic Thunder sounded like a signal or a comm. His posts are always quietly sarcastic or sardonic, never outright threatening, as far as I recall.

Even if Elon truly sees America as an organization to be exploited, he has no power, and the same for Vivek. My take on their views is that their current roles are to focus attention on the H1B program and force the conversation into the spotlight.

Why do you think that fixing the immigration abuse is separate from what it is replaced with are separate? The replacement system is the fix.
