@skinnylatte Your arguments are logical, and I believe you. I worked at Caltech in the past and I never worried about losing my job to people at that level because they didn't want my job.
But the incoming government here is likely to abuse the visa system if they can, to help corporations drive down wages and union-bust, even as recent layoffs have already flooded the market with qualified applicants. They also lie a LOT and say divisive things to cast blame off themselves and onto others.
