The US has no obligation to provide benefits and services to non-citizens. If the guest worker program wasn't being horribly abused it would be worthwhile. As it stands, H1-B needs a wholesale revision to serve its stated goals.

The conversation is not about about benefits and services to non-citizens, but about whether enforcement is being targeted at specific immigrant populations based on white supremacist ideologies. It is about the false, widely circulated talking-point that this administration simply seeks to push people toward legal pathways.

This is a claim that requires justification. Any tiered labor system that does not guarantee a level legal playing field for all workers is abusable.
