>>Who decides H1B is predatory?

Facts, Reality, 1000's of people that have exploited by the system and talk about their experiences publicly just like your fellow commenter that seems to have had a different experience than you.

>>Based on my personal experience,I don't think it is. H1B is boon for many people, who came here, got educated and started contributing to the local economy.

2 things can be true at the same time as well, it could very well be a boon for the person, but it could also artificially stunt their growth due to the restrictions placed on them by the program, I am not sure how anyone could honestly argue that is better for the immigrant to be locked into their employer, and for the employer to have the power to deportation over their employee.. Or honestly argue that would not be abused by less than ethical employers of which there many.

You may have found a good one, I can assure you not everyone does

>>It appears your pro immigration stance is for people, who are less educated and more likely to provide cheaper non tech services.

That seems to be a huge leap based on an assumption that does not track with reality. I am unclear as to what would prevent highly educated people from immigrating to the US with more open immigration, but how H1B does not?

>>To summarize, your stance is not for pro or against immigration, but to serve your own interests like everyone.

Does not serve my interests at all really. I am not impacted by immigration one way or the other.




Are you talking about victims of Indian consulting companies that are basically hacking the H1b system? Yes they need to be dealt with. Perhaps they need to just block consulting jobs from the program generally. Stick to at least enriching employers who add some value to the system other than just performing arbitrage.
