Your last paragraph really demonstrates that shift to the right...

Not at all, we saw what NAFTA did, H1Bs for wage suppression are simply the new extension, to push labor costs down. If you believe in labor protections, that includes protecting against this threat model.

Only when it comes to protecting Americans and their well-being. Everyone should have affordable health care, medicine, education, etc. If you can't pay, we ensure you are still taken care of. Is that right-wing?

I have seen good-paying jobs disappear for our youth. Every company I walk into there are entire floors of Indians working. These are some of the biggest corporations in America. These Indians are not citizens but either contract or H1B employees.

I think the racism and anti immigration rhetoric is what they meant by right wing.

Indian nationals were the main beneficiaries of H-1B temporary visas for highly skilled foreign workers, accounting for 72 percent of all H-1Bs approved in FY 2023, followed by Chinese and Filipinos (12 percent and 1 percent, respectively). That's data, not racism imho. Indian nationals are the primary beneficiary of H1Bs, the evidence shows H1Bs are used to depress domestic wages. This gets us to ChumpGPT's thesis relatively trivially.
