While temporary residents do have fewer rights than permanent residents or citizens, the characterisation of us as indentured servants is just absurd. Those of us working in tech are pretty privileged overall - the median software developer salary is above the 90th percentile!

That you are "pretty privileged" is a value judgment of your own and is irrelevant to the deleterious effects that the conditions of your employment create on the industry at large.

Yes: software developer incomes are high. But simultaneously, unemployment amongst CS grads at American universities is also high.

		Shrug. Having 10 years of experience when I moved here I don’t think I was competing with recent CS grads at any point. I did however share that experience with the newly graduated US junior developers I mentored.
