politics

The main thing I believe about the current skilled immigration debate:

The H-1B visa is a very bad implementation of a very good idea

I don’t know if the USA has the political will to build a better merit-based immigration system (the current system is from 1952)

That’s fundamentally what we ought to be discussing IMO

Where I live the fishing and crabbing industry fail without h-1b visas.

When it comes down to it, Americans don’t want to work for their food, they want it served. Almost every agricultural employer relies on immigrants due to hours, pay, and yes the American willingness to work a job they feel they are above. I myself rely on j1 student visas or my company would fail. Visas are not free, nor cheap.

Interesting. Say more? Is it because of skills or willingness to work or pay?
