How should the American workers who constantly get passed over in favor for H1Bs take it?

Americans got so obsessed with being a “nation of immigrants” they elevated actual immigrants to higher status than American citizens themselves.

I don't get the higher status part. Why would big tech companies, for example, be more favorable to immigrants than americans? There are a lot of companies that will reject you simply because you are not american/greencard holder.

Obviously personal opinion but I don't think gutting H1B will lead to more jobs for americans or just more jobs in general. I can't predict the side effects, but I doubt the tech industry is going to stay the same

If H1Bs disappearing doesn’t result in more jobs then there was never any point in hiring H1Bs in the first place. Just trimming the fat.

		You are assuming the companies will perform the same without the H1B workers, then sure there's no point at all. I disagree though
