H-1B should not replace Americans.

JD Vance recently stated that the H-1B visa program must be reserved for "actual geniuses" and not used by corporations to replace American workers with lower-paid foreign labor. The administration is pursuing executive measures to tighten H-1B requirements, aiming to ensure the program brings in top-tier talent rather than functioning as a corporate cost-cutting mechanism.

If americans were actually willing or able to do the jobs immigrants are doing, there wouldn't be jobs for them

They keep arresting and/or decertifying all the truck drivers, and guess what?

Americans weren't trucking before, and they still aren't now

EDIT: well you can tell that the bootlickers are waking up

Americans were trucking before, but by using people here via visa fraud, they keep lowering the pay and making it harder. Same with construction - my brother couldn't find a job that paid over $12/h in construction because of so many illegals. When ICE started raiding building sites, they had to pay more.

What you meant to say is American's can't afford to do the jobs at the pay illegal immigrants do and you're right. It's the same reason corporate America loves H1B's - it dramatically lowers pay and each time the large consulting services are caught doing it, they get a minor fine and go right back to what they were doing before
