In which David Bier, a Bachelor’s degree in PoliSci tries to discredit the research of PhDs from the @EconomicPolicy.
Bier fails to address why H-1Bs on average fall under the Level 1-2 (entry-level) wage tier when they are supposedly the “best and brightest.”

He also fails to address the EPI researchers’ central argument: prevailing wage rates are set *too low*. Bier assumes that the current prevailing wage *is* the market wage & provides no reason why the 17-34-50-64 percentile tier is an accurate reflection of the market.
Most of the article presents a lot of confusing arguments with deceptive graphs. One can just skip all that & jump to the last paragraph in which you can see the absurdity.
“H-1Bs are the best & brightest but don’t reform laws where they are paid more to reflect true mkt wages.”
“H-1Bs are the best & brightest but don’t reform laws where they are paid more to reflect true mkt wages.”
Remember, DC-Libertarians are intellectual fraudsters—corporate propagandists. As long as the Koch Foundation is writing their paycheck to protect them from the labor markets they are looking to alter here, what do they care about the US workers who have to compete in that maket?
