JENKS: End the OPT program. It’s the pipeline from U.S. universities to tech jobs to H1Bs, with tax breaks for hiring foreign grads over Americans. Break that pipeline, you slow the flow. Even a $100K H1B fee isn’t enough. Employers save 30% in wages and keep workers for decades through green cards. Make hiring a foreign worker more expensive than hiring an American.
