This leftist is is vehemently and resolutely against H1-B. I've posted about it many times here on HN. I feel like access to good jobs and housing are bedrock social justice issues for American workers. I've been called a racist, even though I certainly don't care where the H1-B workers come from. If it were up to me, I would literally line up the planes and send them all home.

American tech companies are basically the richest companies on the planet, and they can well afford to hire and train American workers. In light of growing income inequality, it makes me sick to think that so many of the best paying jobs in the economy go to foreign nationals.

Oh, and, as I've said many times before, non-profits, which include basically all hospitals and universities in the entire country are exempt from the annual cap.

H1-B produces terribly unjust outcome for American workers.

I don't get why anti-H1B attitudes get so consistently downvoted on HN. I mean, supposedly HN is leftist. Ostensibly people here are smart and care about the poor. How come smart people aren't able to see how this system works, when it keeps and keeps getting explained how it's exploitative ?

And yet, the words "anti" and "h1b" in the same post ? -5 karma, at least !
