how can they write code ? real question
Do you seriously believe nobody in the non English speaking world can write code?

Yes low paid. I get paid more than every H1B I know who is a level above me in my role.
And I don't believe that is the case, unless we are talking about hired vs outsourced employees. H-1B salaries are publicly available. If what you say was true, don't you think that a country as notoriously litigious as the US, wouldn't have started a massive class action lawsuit against tech companies a long time ago?

Or just getting rid of H1B all together and nurture that talent in-country.
Why would companies take the time, money, effort to nurture when talent is readily available as H1bs? The mostly American shareholders don’t approve that.
Short term thinking is why we are always on the knife’s edge of crisis.

The house analogy makes zero sense, as my house is not a commons (I am sole owner, even with a mortgage, methinks you don’t have one of these), but if it were then yes, anyone agreeing to the social contract of the government of my home would be allowed in or out. It’s about how to manage shared resources amongst people who all have equal claim, which is everyone who has agreed to the social contract. When you agreed…
Zoning laws, property taxes, liens, HOAs. You live a fantasy, you never answer any question in replies and just keep jumping from one thing to another. Completely unproductive. Done here.
Yes, you are done.

This article, and the one it is based on, is just rage bait. Sadly, this topic specifically works really well in HN.
OP's submission history is just page-after-page of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=donnie12345 It's not really being submitted in good-faith. My advice is to flag submissions with edited titles, and ignore the obvious outrage porn. It seems to work, more often than not.
This is the only part of the article that matters, and even it is a stretch: > Just a month after Sundar Pichai announced Google’s plan to cut 12,000 jobs around the world in January, the company filed applications for H1B visas to hire software engineers, analytical consultants, user experience researchers and other roles from outside the United States, with several requests aimed for new Google employees to join in…

Because a nation should put its citizens interests first. This isn’t a hard concept. There’s plenty of companies though that don’t do h1b. Major telcos, defense contractors (those are us citizen only), a lot of small hedge funds, etc.
No, a nation should not put just its citizens first, that’s nationalistic garbage. Firstly it presumes a nation decides who its citizens are through some fair system, and secondly it presumes its citizens are somehow inherently more deserving than its non citizens. Anyone who agrees to the social contract gets to benefit from the nation. That’s what a country actually is.

I don't know where in germany you worked at but most offices here are not nearly as english friendly, in my experience it's quite rare and more than half the IT jobs still expect you to know some German otherwise it's a non starter.
>I don't know where in germany Frankfurt, non-IT job. I guess the mileage varies.
