Do you have a source on h1B visa driving down wages?
Because for an employer to sponser an h1b immigrant, they need to be paid more than the prevailing wage for their job in the area, which is a combination of salary, benefits, and other factors.
And how is it ruining higher education? Isn't the point to have a better educated workforce?
If a public school accepts so many international students for their CS Masters program, isn't that a problem with the state school, not the immigration system?
