i know the common presumption is that they are all bad, but some of them are actually technically very good... imho... just saying...
No need to apologize.
A few - and even fewer are better than ANY American. That last small group is the only one we should even consider giving work visas to; and for them, we still need to blow up the current H-1B system, which was designed to hide the low wages paid, and ensure that they are not more cheap labor suppressing American salaries.
You imply that’s o.k. to bring the good ones? Think that through.
It displaces Americans who deserve the jobs.
It is a racket.

Not our culture, not our people.
Sadly, there are a lot of technical jobs that it’s hard to find adequate U.S. candidates to fill.
The majority of slots for graduate degrees are taken by foreign born students. These students need Visas to stay here, or we send them back to their country with the education we give them.
That's true, but they are very, very few and far between. The vast majority are little better than script readers and googlers. They have no loyalty to an organization, and will jump ship for a nickel pay increase. Also, in my experience, it is obvious that any qualifications they have listed on their CV are entirely imaginary.
