You don’t know what you are complaining about
And you do?
On the other hand, I'd much rather have trained IT professionals and engineers immigrating to the U.S. than potential MS13 gang members and yet another landscaper.

Sure he does and so do I. Get admitted to Gwinnett Medical Center in my area. Practically all the technicians and half the nursing staff are foreign. Doing the jobs Americans are just too stupid to do. RIght?
The H1B Visa program has been corrupted. In the IT field job descriptions are written so that they can eliminate qualified US citizens and then hire cheaper labor from abroad. I’ve seen this first hand. The applicants from abroad are not more qualified, they will just work for less.

I do. Do you?
H1B Visas do not bring in highly trained talented workers. There are other categories of Visas reserved for those.
There is an unlimited number of tech workers wanting to come here from Asia—primarily from India and China. Online coding and other related classes are offered for THOUSANDS...They are working in many ares of tech...some that most people aren’t even aware of such as pharmaceutical trials work. They will work for far less than their US counterparts.
There are Freepers here who are underemployed because of this...STEM salaries are down and US workers have had to train their replacements—look up Disney and ComEd. Of course, if you have not followed the issue (which I suspect you may not have from your response), you may not be familiar with these situations because most displaced have to sign waivers that they will not go public with their plight in order to receive severance pay...
Tech Businesses wants cheaper labor ...Just like Chamber of Commerce wants cheap lawn care, housekeepers, etc...
So we implement tariffs because don’t want to be undercut by China for goods, yet it is OK to undercut US workers? Seems inconsistent to me.
We need to do a better job of training our students and unemployed to take these positions rather than bringing in cheap foreign labor that prevents a living wage for middle class US citizens.
I do know what I am complaining about. It is BAD POLICY!
Yeah, current H1Bs are indentured servants.
If they come in and can charge market rate moving between companies, then companies might think that it’s more expedient to use a native speaker.
