Plus add the accumulation of H1Bs that get a green card to the labor pool. Also, there are exceptions to many of the H1B rules allowing extensions. True number is in the millions.

Yup, with that and no tariffs on inbound commits on software created by offshore labor, you know who the government supports, and it ain't the workers.
Considering there are around 1.5 - 3 million domestic software developers, that probably pushes down our salaries by about a third. Domestic software developers could be making around 50% more if it weren't for these policies. Imagine how much better off we'd be.
Politicians will sell their mothers for a campaign donation and they've been selling us out for decades. We need to stop buying into their distracting wedge issues and concentrate on what matters: our livelihoods.
