I'm saying, raising the price of H-1Bs is good, but it's still just legalized bribery. The argument here is that the government wasn't getting enough of a cut when it came to selling out Americans.
If we're going to import foreigners to compete with Americans, I don't care what the cost is, if it's our masters in government pocketing that payment. It's all the same end of empire nonsense. Pay me if you're going to bring in people to compete with me. Or just, you know, don't do that shit.
If there's a $1 million fee to get a foreigner working here, businesses will only bring in workers that provide more value than that. It's not bribery at all, it's a merit test.
Why should you get paid for doing nothing and not being qualified or skilled to do the work? If you can do the job they can't (on paper) bring the foreigner in. Unless you don't even apply for the job.
