8. Yes, By All Means
Let us continue to replace American workers with foreign workers for a fifth of the salary. They've already torn down the salaries of the lower, and middle class. Now they are working on the top sectors too, stabbing college educated folks in the back.

The whole H-1B visa is based on NOT being able to find workers, but in truth, these workers are available, but corporations just want to pay less.

We inevitably need to move to a system like Japans, where we guard our population and people, we move folks to a living wage, and regulate our health system, and provide health care to people. Free trade is like punching holes in the American economic bucket, and expecting it to hold water. Needless to say, the American bucket was full, and it will leak to other countries.
