This has nothing to do with immigration or a diverse work force. Nice strawman. These are temporary limited visas that the sole purpose is to allow these tech. companies to bring cheap labor that they have leverage on.

I'm all for immigration reform and improvement. But again that has nothing to do with these visas.

I literally work in the tech industry, at a large tech company, WITH people on work visas. They are all paid on the same pay bands as everyone else, with many earning more due to joining at a time when more RSU's were issued. You're talking utter nonsense. Outside of extreme cases like WITCH companies, this isn't even remotely true.
