Americans are hurt by abuse of the H1B system. Companies will always hire inexpensive labor that they have leverage over and H1B gives them just that. It's necessary to put strict quotas on H1B because otherwise it will be abused, which is bad for both American and foreign workers.

Luckily the Trump administration is cracking down on H1B abuse.

The insinuation that anyone who is skeptical of H1B is a xenophobe is insulting and lowers the level of the conversation.

Criticisms of H1B are far older than Trump and the current political climate. If Trump does something right, it's still right, even though he's Donald Trump.
