So we aren't talking about immigration without visas (Biden method), but we are talking about hiring the best talent in the world and that some how that should be prohibited?

When you work with people who are much better than you, you get better yourself. This isn't about 'taking jobs' it is about 'improving workers we have'.

I often say that "half of all professionals are below average". Going to a doctor because they have a degree doesn't mean they are good at what they do, just that they passed a test. It doesn't mean that being able to recite what was in a text book or on a test makes you qualified to be exceptional at your job.

Those that are self taught have a much better understanding of science than those that echo what academia has told them to. America is starving for experts who really understand what they do.

By the way... do you know what an expert is?

An ex is a has been and a spurt is a drip under pressure. ;-)

From what I've seen online, it seems as if this visa program is being seriously abused for the purpose of cheap labor--and NOT simply to "hire the best talent in the world." I agree we shouldn't necessarily throw the baby out with the bath water, but something needs fixing here, no doubt...

Cheap labor is when you employ people in other countries (like Nikki shoes or iPhones). If they are employed here, aren't they paid US wages (which are too low, but not pennies an hour)?
