What a weird crabs-in-a-bucket argument against unions. "Don't empower yourself and the rest of your colleagues because they might get powerful enough to kick you out"?

The whole reason H1Bs were invented is to disempower the existing workforce. Not reaching for a (long overdue) tool of power for tech workers is playing right into their hand.

The colleagues are all screaming to kick you out. Someone would have to be mentally differently abled to want to lend their voice to the chorus of people asking to kick them out.

You can call it what you want to legitimize it but these people want immigrants out and empowering them means immigrants get kicked out.

If you want to get kicked out as an immigrant definitely support them.
