Ryun on H-1B Visas: Billion-Dollar Corporations Hire Foreign Workers Under Market Wages Instead of Paying American Workers Full Wages

EXCERPT:

RYUN: "Well my take is the entire conversation started around increasing the number of h 1b visas which was precisely the wrong place to start a conversation and expanding what is a broken and abused system and I think a lot of people can acknowledge the h 1b visa system is broken and abused. Elon posted some things last night that be a nice starting point that you have to significantly raise the minimum salary and then add an annual cost to these h-1b visas to maintain them. I think we have to get to the point Rachel where we make it prohibitively expensive to have an h-1b visa to really focus on having those truly exceptional people come in and use them, but Rachel, I think the thing has to be, the thing that has to be discussed is the fundamental issues around this whole entire debate is that America fundamentally is not an economic zone. We’re not some global store front. Americans should not be treated as second class citizens in their own country because federal policy allows billion dollar corporations to hire foreign workers under market wages instead of paying American workers full wages, so if we can start to frame the conversation that way and understand the system is broken, it needs to be reformed, and the American people should actually be prioritized in all things that is really the message of America first.
