   I think a big part of the assumption even among liberals or leftists that H1-Bs are paid less is the belief that non-Americans must be less qualified. I think a lot of people are not ready for the idea that things are actually currently rigged in their favour; that there are tons of people from other countries that are more skilled or educated or otherwise qualified than them and that resources being concentrated in the US actually are giving them a giant advantage over most people in the world

     A big part of it is that most people are not experiencing the standard of living they would expect given the fact that they have more opportunities than almost anyone and live in a wealthier country than most of the rest of the world. But that is a problem you will never fix by blaming people from other countries, that's a problem that needs to be solved from within the US
