Google, Meta, Amazon hiring low-paid H1B workers after US layoffs

My ex gf is here on H1B and so is all her friend group. I feel bad for her situation, it adds a layer of stress but the way they treat the visa is disrespectful to Americans I think. For example, they are generally of the mindset that Americans are stupider and lazier than them which is why they are here. So they will vent their frustrations on Americans by calling us stupid and lazy and entitled because we have citizenship but they do all the work. It's not a healthy way to view this country or their coworkers. They take the "nation of immigrants" line too far and act as if their American coworkers are basically their inferiors but who were lucky enough to happen to have citizenship. I always tried to provide a different perspective to no avail.

If ask a group of Americans they will tell you a similar story one which Americans are superior and H1b workers are inferior.

These are called dialects. They want a divided workforce so that no one questions them about poor labour laws. E.g Amazon and Tesla

Is she wrong?

It is possible to be impolite, ungrateful, obnoxious and correct.

To avail, use maths. [for engineering groups]

Ie, cardholding need be completely blind to recruiters. Ie, instead of `Do you have work authorization?` as the first question asked [no less], it need be enforceably ILLEGAL to try fish information about it.

In practice that can't be fully done without also blinding a lot of other related things. But having Single-Market enforced by law will certainly reduce the pay gap found today in lvl-to-lvl comparisons (top ppl of country A vs the same of country B; bottom ppl of country A vs the same of country B).

re "vent" "disrespectful"; I believe their comparison is meant to be neutral and nonhurtful, albeit not of PC enculture.
