    Why? Anything can be improved, and it’s a solid foundation.

    Based on this and your previous comments over the last few days I’m having a hard time believing you’re arguing in good faith here.

      There is no way to improve a bad program.

      I am in good faith. Your bias isn’t my problem.

      You’ve never seen me be against immigration. It’s the shitty system I’m against

        What’s bad about it? You haven’t actually said anything beyond your feelings on it.

        It’s not biased to ask for someone else’s thoughts lol.

          H1b are abusive to immigrants. It gives them lower wages, they are tied to employers, no path to citizenship and if they lose their job. They have 30 days to leave. It’s garbage. Always remember the person

            Right, so if we pay them more, give them a path to citizenship and an appeals process how would that be worse than completely eliminating for something else that doesn’t exist yet?

            Your mind seems made up on a rip and replace but there’s nothing else to replace it with, and it would be a lot easier to amend this thing which already exists than it would be to completely pass something else, and in the meantime between eliminating h1b and figuring out what else to do while immigrants who want to come here legally will have to wait.

              That wouldn’t be an h1 anymore. That would be a standard visa.

              We don’t need h1b when we have other visas that serve the person

                  Yes the current application is to abuse workers. There is no need for an h1b. Other visas can be used instead.

                  We need a simpler process. Not 50 types of visas to screw as many people as possible.

                    H1bs are more attainable because they can be petitioned by any company without a strict education requirement, can be extended, does not discriminate on position or require work history with the employer.

                    In many circumstances, h1b is the simpler process.

                    I agree a simplification would be beneficial, so why are congressional Republicans making immigration reform legislation and then voting it down?
