Then they complain to Congress that they can’t hire enough workers.

The obvious solution is to increase H-1B. They won't know anything about algorithms either, but they'll cost less and can be worked like slaves.
Please don't post shallow dismissals and/or flamebait to HN.

This is such BS. FAANG H1B salaries are the same as regular employees. You have no idea what you're talking about and clearly just form your opinion on hearsay.
I'm not American, so I'm not endorsing the same belief, but isn't the main criticism against the treatment of H1B visa holders related to workplace treatment (i.e. work longer hours/accept extra work or you're kicked out of the country) instead of pay?
This maybe true of Infosys or Wipro etc. This is not the case in FAANG companies. They get the same salaries in FAANG and are no different from regular employees. Don't let HN skew your world view. It's cool to be anti FAANG where as people posting these are living somewhere remote, salty about immigrants.
This is such a veiled racist attack. "immigrant devs" bad, "American good". You know nothing about FAANG salaries for H1Bs. They are on par if not more than regular devs.
We've asked you repeatedly not to break the site guidelines. You've continued to break them repeatedly. If you keep doing that we will ban you.

I'm sure you can correct misinformation and make your substantive points thoughtfully if you want to. Please use HN that way, not this way or like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21459960.

This is egregious as well - "They won't know anything about algorithms either, but they'll cost less and can be worked like slaves."

It's hard to have a logical rebuttal to something like this. It's engaging in the worst stereotypes.

I know it's hard, but another comment being bad doesn't make it cool to break the site guidelines yourself. That only makes the thread even worse. And your account unfortunately has a pattern of doing so.

I've replied to that comment above.

Sorry. Acknowledged.
