Visa workers aren't replacing American workers, they supplements them. Workers on visas are a pain in the ass. No company is ever gonna hire a non permanent resident if there's an equally qualified native citizen available for the position.
Countless studies have shown that immigrant labour is a boon to the economy, and immigrants statistically create demand for more jobs than they take.
Foreign workers are also a massive boon to tax income. Some other country spent 18 years paying for their income less childhood and education, and then they leave that country, and start paying taxes in America.
Tell that to the THOUSANDS of unemployed IT workers who have been replaced by cheaper foreign labor. Walk into almost any IT department and it's Indians all the way down. Companies need to be throttled back from just importing slave labor on visas because they're cheaper and they can control them.
Those aren't visa workers genius, those are outsourced foreign workers
