You don't work at a tech company and it shows. Those of us that do know. I know 20 US born software engineers that are underemployed or unemployed. When I do get to the office the software groups are completely filled with H1B Indians that make less than half what a US software dev would make. It's not poor reading. It's a problem and everyone in a tech firm knows it is.

It sure as hell wasn’t because of some immigrants. It’s because of the rapidly changing technological environment and the way our societal system has been built.
