Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

are often brought over as cheap labor, undercutting local labor

I came to the US on a work visa and my company had to pay thousands of dollars for the visa fee, prove that my salary is in line with local averages, publicly post a job opening for the position I was going to fill, and in general show proof that there are no equally or better qualified local candidates for the job. I don't see how they could have gotten my visa approved if they tried to pay me less.
