Tying a visa to an employer is not indentured servitude.
You call it whatever you want to call it. "You work at this specific company or we kick you out of the country" is as exploitive and ultra-capitalistic as you can get.
It can be, but isn't a guarantee. All countries do this to an extent, some do it better than others. You calling it the wrong thing trying to drive a point home with hyperbole isn't helpful to anyone.
I work with h1b my entire life in tech. I dropped out of university at age 20 and I'm 31 now. I am a staff engineer.
There are small places that utilize the program correctly. One amazing friend I have is a man named Ravi. Beautiful human being and he lives in Texas now with a beautiful boy.
I now contract with a major corporation now who dropped an H1B woman named Chaitanya who loved her daughter with a 2 day notice. She has to since scrambled to find a new job or risk deportation. Not indentured servitude, though.
