+ Green Cards are mostly for spouses.

+ "Give these people jobs before you give it to the Chinese." is just slightly racist, I'm not saying it's entirely objectionable, but you could just say 'non-citizen'.

+ It's way harder to hire someone on H1B than a local. There is a reason they are being hired. 1500+ SAT is nice but it's not magic entry point for a job.

There are definitely some kinds of jobs - 'Plain IT' where Tata and some Indian companies are just 'India First'. That's H1B abuse.

But by and large, that's not the case.

It's better to consider 'tightening up the program' if you think it should be, as opposed to making very broad considerations.

'Broad Brushstroke' stopping of these programs will definitely hurt the US.
