Oh? Is that why nativists oppose the H1B visa without supporting alternative means of high-skill immigration?

As a brown person it's become abundantly clear that the Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon view on immigration is certainly mad about something - and it's not skill.

I don't think they're mad, per se. They just want to get votes for their party, and xenophobia works. It divides the country, and amplifies hate, but it gets votes for their party.

An H1B is a temporary worker visa. So even if someone did start a company while on that visa, it’s not an immigration visa.

An H1B is a Visa with intent to immigrate. A TN1 is a non-immigration temporary worker visa. You need to do things to follow through on that intent, but it's still an option.
