Accepting Vance's premise, is he saying that the solution to replacing American workers with indentured servants is... removing the path out of indentured servitude? It sounds like they're not touching H1-B itself, just the path from H1-B to residency.

If you remove the path from H1-B to residency, you reduce the incentive for a lot of people to go through the H1-B hell to begin with.

Speaking personally, my Dad put me in a university in Canada instead of USA since the path to permanent immigration was so much smoother.

They've been limited in what changes to H1-b they can make without legislative support, so they will take any other option to make H1-b less desirable and harder.

Correct.
