把18垅那个网站的观点copy了一下，主要从H-1B的角度和移民的角度写了一个。http://www.americanimmigrationco ... es-jobs-and-economy
From my point of view, it’s true that almost all international students obtain their OPT in order to get an H-1B visa. I think it’s unwise to deprive international students' legal right to work in US after graduation just for the unnecessary fear that these H-1B workers may harm native-born worker’s job opportunities. The reasons are as follows.
. .и
First of all, it’s important to realize the vital economic role that higher-skilled immigration plays in growing US economy and creating new opportunities for native and foreign-born workers alike.
H-1B workers are not “cheap foreign labor”, which is true throughout high-skilled occupations, particularly true in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Also, it’s known that nearly two-thirds of requests for H-1B workers are for STEM occupations. Meanwhile, workers in healthcare, business, finance, and the life sciences are also in high demand.
Second, there is a positive impact on the wages of native-born workers in specific geographic areas with high H-1B employment and demand. More broadly, the H-1B program contributes to a stronger economy through higher wages for STEM workers. According to the Brookings Institution, in the metropolitan areas with the greatest number of H-1B requests per worker, the average wages for STEM occupations with the largest number of H-1B requests are high, the remaining vacancies are difficult to fill, and wages across those industries are growing. What’s more, for occupations with the most H-1B requests, wage growth in recent years has been much higher than the national average, according to the Brookings Institution.
Third, highly skilled immigrants complement their native-born peers; they do not substitute for them. Long-term research shows that, in addition to bringing more jobs and higher salaries to communities where they cluster, the impact and success of innovative industries in localities has a profound multiplier effect. Jobs in the innovation economy generate a disproportionate number of local jobs in other industries. An analysis of 11 million American workers in 320 metropolitan areas shows that each new high-tech job in a metropolitan area creates five additional long-term local jobs outside of the high-tech sector. Furthermore, the five new jobs created for each new high-tech job benefit a diverse group of workers: two new jobs for professional workers such as attorneys and doctors, and three new positions in nonprofessional occupations such as service industry jobs. In many U.S. metropolitan areas, the innovation economy, and the high-skilled jobs related to it, drive prosperity for a broader base of workers living in the region.
In conclusion, I strongly support the OPT-Extension program. Longer OPT period, even creating more green cards for highly skilled immigrants, including for foreign-born graduates from U.S. universities, eliminating country-based caps, and exploring ways for immigrants already living in the U.S. with foreign-earned credentials and licenses to practice their profession, are important components of reforming the immigration system to meet the needs of a 21st century economy.
