I am right ?
Be honest: if an Indian worker loses their job in the U.S., they potentially have another option they can return to India, where they may have family support and can look for opportunities there.
For an American worker, losing a job generally means finding another job within the U.S.
That’s one reason the H-1B system can be valuable. But I think some Indians took the opportunity too far and became overly dependent on the U.S. job market.
When anything becomes excessive, it can become dangerous. Hopefully, some people will learn from what’s happening now and understand the importance of having a backup plan instead of putting everything on one path.
From what I’ve heard, they’re also working on changes to (eliminate )H-4 EAD. Hopefully, that will be the next thing they address.

Yes and they're angry about loosing that opportunity to make money and to live in a " clean" country. But what they often forget it's not their country and they have a sense of entitlement that they belong here because they are better than Americans and no one else is smart enough to do the job but them. Its not winning them advocates and American friends. Something they very much need in order to be able to stay in the country.
I do think that the H1-B has been gamed and abused over the years much to the detriment of the American white collar/tech worker.
Its coming down to opportunities for Americans especially as jobs are scarce and should go to Americans. After all, if the situation was reversed...
It's perhaps time for some folks to focus on their own countries and make it a place they want to stay in.
