Sorry, but that it is absolute nonsense at best, and dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric at best. Your edit makes nothing better, and if anything makes your comment more stupid.
People move countries all the same, and most sane businesses believe that diversity in the workforce breeds innovation and more productivity. Many people at Twitter likely joined from transfers from offices all around the world, likely to spend time in the US or to move to a team that better suited their skills. They're now trapped not because they're "wage slaves", but because their visa likely doesn't allow them to move jobs.
If the US were to relax their L1 visa during the layoffs last year and allow people to transfer to a new employer, Twitter would probably be dead today.
This has nothing to do with immigration or a diverse work force. Nice strawman. These are temporary limited visas that the sole purpose is to allow these tech. companies to bring cheap labor that they have leverage on.
I'm all for immigration reform and improvement. But again that has nothing to do with these visas.
I literally work in the tech industry, at a large tech company, WITH people on work visas. They are all paid on the same pay bands as everyone else, with many earning more due to joining at a time when more RSU's were issued. You're talking utter nonsense. Outside of extreme cases like WITCH companies, this isn't even remotely true.
