Hilarious to see pro capitalist free market libertarian HN suddenly bat for stricter regulations when they are unable to compete with the hustle.

Maybe stop abuse in the work place? Just a thought

Breaking news: HN is a forum, not a person.

That's disingenuous. You could still map the general opinion and value system of the forum majority and hold them to what they purport to care about. As someone who's just beginning to form their judgement of the forum populace, your tone immediately comes across as defensive and deflecting.

Okay.

>>> willingness to work for shitty companies

Don't agree with that part. When the market is tough, anyone is willing to work for shitty companies.

You missed out the main point that people on h1b have hard time leaving companies generally because not everyone sponsors h1bs, and the general process around applying for PERM and GC forces candidates to stick around for >1 year at least.It is a resource-protection mechanism for employers.

Adding to that the general incompetence by USCIS in handling h1b applications - where they take even 6 months to approve a h1b transfer.
