HB-1 Visas are not the problem. Yes, they should be restricted so as not to compete with Americans with tech skills, but focusing on this issue is self-defeating. It is simply not a serious problem for the economy. The USA has 50 million illegals (Yes, it may be more), with most of them useless eaters that are costing the economy upwards of 5 Trillion a year when you take into account all of the damage they cause. For example, each child is special needs and costs about $50,000 to educate, feed, provide medical care, etc. They send home almost a trillion dollars yearly in remittances to their home country. If you use five as the velocity of money, that's 5 trillion dollars of economic activity, and our economy loses yearly. Then you add up all direct and indirect costs, at least 5 Trillion. Why not offer each of them $10,000 in cash to return to their native lands? That would cost just a Trillion dollars. We save 4 trillion the first year and 5 trillion a year afterward. Problem solved. Of course, some may refuse, so we put a bounty on them, which is $10,000 for each catch and identification. Remember that House seats are awarded based on population, including illegals. The blue states would lose about 40 House seats, and the illegal voting problem would be solved.

The moment you start parading for HB - 1 visas is the moment you tell everyone that you are NOT America First. Enough said.
