I am currently commuting to Toronto every week for a banking IT project.
I agree with this article. The U.S. H1-B system for skilled labor is absurd. Many of of the highly skilled people I am working with first tried to get into the U.S. and failed. They found it easy to get a permanent work Visa for Canada in a mere few weeks. Canada very much needs their skills in the technology and banking centers. And since these people are free to go to any job they want you don't land up with the the absurd H1-B situation in the U.S. where the worker is locked into indentured servitude with only one employer paying sub-standard wages which depresses salaries across the market.

And yet we let every greedy, lazy, immigrant into the country who wants to suck tit from our social welfare system.
Amerika! What a country!
My information is correct. For decades the U.S. was the viewed as the go-to place that all skilled immigrants wanted to go to. This luster is fading as many skilled immigrants are discovering that Canada and some EU countries have a thriving technology community and welcome highly skilled people.
The U.S. is suffering competitively due to this, and over the long term we will see the U.S. decline as a technology leader.

One interesting point, I have found it is legal immigrants in the U.S. as the people who despise illegal immigrants the most.
Most mainstream U.S. citiizens are tolerant of illegal immigrants (with opinions spread across the political spectrum) - Immigrants who came here legally are generally 100% intolerant of illegal immigrants.
At least that is my perspective after hearing from people for years about the illegal immigration issue.
Hell YES! If I were an uneducated, lazy, ne'er-do-well... and if I knew America would pay me to come here and vote for Socialism... I'd do it myself!
Mostly because the "mainstream" are not the ones who are forced to pay for the parasite illegals' social support.
