Scrapping H1-B doesn't end legal immigration.

Saying that you want to end immigration to the US, period, is anti-immigrant.

Saying that you want to end H1-B because you think these jobs should go to American citizens is not anti-immigrant.

Yes it is. You're saying that those people should not be able to immigrate to the US.

There are other ways to immigrate to the US besides H1-B? I don't understand you claim that H1-B is the only way anyone immigrates to America.

I’m pretty far to the Left on the issue of immigration, but I totally agree with you. As far as I’ve seen, the H1-B system is a means for some US employers to keep wages and benefits artificially depressed, through abuse of the system.
