    Well, large tech corporations often cut costs by falsely listing impossible to meet job descriptions and then use that to ask the government for an excuse to hire a foreign worker, who they will hire despite not meeting the job descriptions either, but is willing to work for a fraction of what the domestic worker can afford to live on.

    So there is that

    But that’s not the fault of those immigrants, who are just looking for a better opportunity; that’s on the corporations abusing a system that is supposed to improve the domestic economy by bringing in top talent to American industry, not by displacing domestic employees and depressing wages.

    And uh, also, the conservative wing and the administration isn’t really upset about that at all, either.
