Can someone explain why the Indian outsourcers are "scammy"? I get the argument that they abuse the H-1B visa by appropriating it for purposes different from what the government intended. I understand the Biden admin also changed the rules so you can't take multiple shots at the lottery, which they were previously doing. But are they not bonafide businesses providing bonafide services to bonafide customers? In what sense are they a *scam*?
Yes they are scammy. Businesses hide job postings so Americans can’t apply. Then the business can say “look no one applied, I need an H-1B” then they call an H-1B firm who gets them their H-1B. Once that person is in the door, they only hire other Indians. There are infinite stories of departments and companies becoming wholly Indian in under a few months or years.
Though H-1B provides great economic benefit to the US economy, it's unfortunately tied up public perception as part of the immigration problem. For Trump it's good PR, demonstrating his resolve to fight for the little guy. In this case American don't have the skills to fill all of the high-tech jobs.
If Trump fails then it’s much, much worse.
The old ways are best.
This post is like reading the intellectuals of Constantinople debating the gender of angels in 1453.
VR, the Turks.
We’re just outside.

Can you explain what benefit there is to the American economy by Americans being replaced and without a living wage?
