This is a very disingenuous article, but a good lesson in how propaganda works: find the craziest, most extreme partisans, paint them as the opposition, and ignore the stronger arguments. Obviously, nobody wants to be associated with "far right" racists, so you're inclined to sympathize with the "right" side.
The article strongly implies that H-1B is is necessary because some startup founders were immigrants, and that it's crucial to acquire top tier tech talent. But H-1N is not actually for either of those things. It's used to acquire average or even below-average talent; to this day, Cognizant, Tata and Infosys are in the top ten H-1B sponsors. [3] There are examples of H-1B sponsorship for entry-level accountants.
It is obvious that the "purpose" of H1-B as it is actually used is to increase the supply of labor, help slow/stop the rise in labor costs, and to find employees much more willing to say "yes" to unreasonable demands due to cultural differences and visa demands. Nobody can blame the people getting the visas to improve their lot in life, but it is destructive for the US labor market, for the future of the US labor market (why go into the field?), and exploitative on the part of the USG and mostly large corporations. There is no reason for it to continue existing. We have separate visas for extraordinary talent. This is especially the case in a market where we're seeing mass layoffs.
Again and again H1-Bs have been used to replace US employees that already exist. [1] There's also multiple documented instances of actual employer discrimination. Cognizant for example, was found liable for intentional discrimination. [2] This is a broken system that needs to go away. Facebook settled a less egregious suit. [4] So did Apple. [5] Does anyone really think the practices at these companies actually changed afterward?
There's nothing "far right" about supporting labor rights. H1-B exists to lower wages and help employers pressure employees to work more than 40 hours a week for no compensation. Dump it.
There are also tons of hiring and recruiting problems companies need to fix. I myself, despite a great resume and perf reviews, completed over a hundred applications and got zero interviews. (Throughout my career, every interview I ever have gotten got to the offer stage.) There's no way this should be possible if these companies are really that desperate.
During the first Trump admin, a report concluded that each H-1B denied resulted in 0.4-0.9 jobs created offshore. That’s choosing a very remote worker over some quite remote candidates. So a dimension of this is also the logistics of compelling a return-to-office mandate.
