I have personally been in the room when illegal labor decisions were made around H-1B hiring and immigration law, which I reported to USCIS. But that doesn't scale unless you can get into more places where these decisions are made. So, when all you have is a hammer, you have to hit whatever is within reach of the target outcome.

I am closer to a blue collar worker than a CEO or other very wealthy/empowered person driving these anti labor decisions, so your argument is not compelling, I know who these people are behind closed doors. It's always about some combination of wealth, profit, status, power, and/or control.

I feel your pain.

We'd rather be training in-house people to be better long term than training up people that get moved off the project as soon as they get upskilled...

The median income earner is making around $65K. They don’t see you as one of them if you are making even six figures
