I think you need to re-read what I wrote. I'm in favor of H1B program for _highly skilled_ immigrants. That is, people with significant expertise, unavailable in necessary quantities in the US. I was one of such people myself.

I am, on the other hand, categorically against displacing US fresh grads (especially US women and minorities) with foreign fresh grads unless they demonstrably are genius material.

I have very little sympathy towards trillion+ dollar companies with 35-40% profit margins when they tell me they can't fill their entry level positions with US grads, especially now, when millions of people are laid off.




So you feel that you are genius material?


"So" followed by mind reading is not a good way to have a conversation.


"And I say this as a former H1B." "unless they demonstrably are genius material."

Just taking two of your sentences and trying to understand if you are genius material or were when you got your H1-B.
