Do you have a moral defense of your supporting h1b or other immigration for work in an industry already showing signs of bursting for new native grads[1]?

Sorry but I'm not sure what you are asking.

I'm asking how you justify helping more enter a market that's already showing signs of starting to not have enough room for natives, as you can see in the screenshot I linked. It drives down wages and makes it harder for natives to get a job, and a lot of native grads are struggling.

I'm not an expert on the economy and I can't speak for other immigration attorneys but I know that many of our clients are creating good businesses and hiring local US workers.
