Reply #4: not all immigrants are job-stealers earning less money [View All]

[shireen]

I am a naturalized citizen. I came here to go to college in 1983. RIght out of college, I landed a job, got a J1 visa, then a H1, and eventually permanent residency that led to citizenship. During my years on the J1 and H1, I did not displace a US citizen from getting my job nor was I paid less. It's been a level playing field all the way. Meanwhile, my non-profit continues to hire foreign nationals from around the world and they're treated the same as their US citizen co-workers.

Not all immigrants are here as cheap labor to displace US citizens.
