If you are taking in the skilled labor at a rate lower than the average American or outsourcing to a country without as much worker protections, then I disagree. But if you are bringing them in at market rates and not exploiting them, then I agree. My problem with the H-1B visa system is that it's being exploited(by that, I mean it's not being used as intended) in a manner that brings the pay of the average American worker down, which hurts everyone but the businesses.

Also, I was born and raised in America, and I am not responsible for the transgressions of my ancestors. I also don't blame the foreigners that try to come here; I blame the government and corporations that are making a system that only works for the richest of Americans.
