Bernie speaks out against it. Unfortunately most politicians are totally owned on either side. I expect we will see (or not) a wild flip-flop of both parties similar to how Dems in the early 2000s were against gay marriage now its quite centered.
The "top talent" was the ruse to justify the program.
If it "accidentally" stopped serving that top talent purpose it was obvious years ago. Then , whoops! I guess we'll just have to keep letting in non-top talent...?!
It was a camels nose attack on IT sector workers salaries and the vitriol of anti-racism was used to defend it, along with other similar efforts to destroy American wages.
Oddly, in the 1970s, the Democrats would have spoken out against it, back when they cared about American jobs. Not any more.
