Why is tech high paying exactly? Maybe low supply of qualified labor? Maybe that can be solved with qualified immigration? We can call such a program H1B, for example, and it would benefit the American economy overall at the cost of slightly reducing compensation fir the already extremely highly paying tech jobs.

Immigration is about short-changing the natives to make the billionaires wealthier, yes, we know.

People are also now learning this fact, which is why you’re getting unpalatable politicians elected.
