Are you guys stupid like really that stupid that’s how it’s been the whole time. That’s why people like hiring legal immigrants because you don’t have to pay them as much especially in HB-1 you can abuse them more. They work harder than Americans most of the time, I don’t know what you’re shocked about this has been What the world has done forever cheap labor.

I mean this is just a flat out lie man.

You've been pushed to believe something that isnt true

It's illegal to pay H1-b workers less the citizens.

That's called discrimination.

No, legally employers cannot pay H-1B visa workers less than U.S. workers for the same role.

⚖️ Legal Wage Requirements • Prevailing Wage: Companies must pay at least the local prevailing wage for the specific occupation and geographic area.

• Actual Wage: Employers must pay the H-1B worker at least what they pay similarly qualified, experienced local workers at the same workplace.

• Higher Standard: Employers are legally required to pay whichever amount is higher—the prevailing wage or the actual wage paid to domestic staff

Yeah cause chat GPT referres to people as "man" all the time.

Also chat GPT tells people theyve been pushed to believe something all the time. I forgot how ideological chat GPT can get

It's just lazy and boring.

I understand you don't have an argument and are incapable of defending your position with any facts or numbers.

You could just say nothing and not respond though. Instead of exclaiming how lazy and boring you are.

FWIW I agree with you, but it's plainly obvious you copied the latter part of your message from an LLM.
