It stopped being about merit and education a long time ago. It's now about victimhood and minority status. The same people pushing for these things in our universities are shocked that companies want to use H1B talent, because they can't find anyone in the US with the skills.
Last spring, I attended the college graduation ceremony for my niece.

When I graduated (a lifetime ago), maybe the top 15-20 percent received honors.

I spent decades working along side H1B imports. A big part of my job was translator.
Trust me, they're not better, they're just cheaper.
