H-1B is a government program. They are the ones that decide if it stays or goes. The employer has no choice but to use the program if they wish to not fall behind their competitors.


Under your model it is you who is now employed by the government at the expense of your employer. Your employer wants to hire someone else but cant, so the government is preventing both your employer and this other person to work together.

A priviledge is not a right.
