>There are hundreds of thousands of people who come into the country every year through other visas (and also on H1B from other countries) and naturalize and take up jobs in the country. But that doesn’t matter because they are now US citizens.

What you seem to be saying is that the problem is worse than we think for natives because of these immigrants dropping off of stats after they become citizens. Of course I think this myself. It doesn't matter if you make these people citizens so much, the point is that their effect on the job market is independent of citizenship.

Which is why you need a comprehensive immigration reform instead of a twitter thread that gets discussed on HN.
Raising awareness of issues is the main way democracy (and probably all functional forms of government) works. Talking about it does that, even though it might seem to do nothing. Everything else costs money.
