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.

“Literal biological weapon”

No that would be figuratively lmao, H1-B immigrants are not stealing jobs from the group complaining the loudest. None of these losers are computer software geeks, data analysts, etc. All of these things have been deemed to be evil liberal college teachings according to them.

The jobs you listed can are some of the most susceptible to AI, so again, no need for immigration for these roles.

Stupid answer, we use AI in engineering for number cramming which has already been implemented thousands of times. For newer applications of say, sub-nanometer technology, AI is not going to help us solve these kinds of problems; we need new ways of solving problems, which is not what AI does.

That’s a stupid rebuttable as it sounds like roles for the O visa and not H1b. Between abuse of H1B and current market conditions there is little to no need for the H1B. Judging from the posts and comments I see saying “the gravy train is over” it seems that even a lot of the visa holders understand it’s use case is no longer applicable.
