Brilliant! If you really need foreign workers because you can't find them in USA, they must so good, so special and deserving way more than $60k.

Yes, Brilliant. Take a pool of talent that is available, and make up rules on how to limit it. What a sophisticated thought it is to find novel and different ways to hurt yourself.

Oh yeah, let's bring every programmer from India /China in USA at $30k a year so companies pay less US programmers and fire 30+ year old ones.

Bring in the best only, and $90k is a good salary requirement

Just to scale your point: do you advocate for, for example, never importing iphones? That they should be made in the U.S?

Because making the iPhones abroad takes jobs from americans and lowers their wages. You wouldnt want 30k a year chinese people taking jobs from Americans would you.

iPhone costs, say $800 on average. How much of it is in assembling it ....? USA can and should tax the rest.
