Back in my CFI days, I flew with a non-NASA astronaut from a different country, but he worked for NASA here in the States and contributed to research. He previously did two missions on the ISS.
He was the most interesting and brilliant person I've ever met and I guarantee his pay was not being undercut. In fact, NASA was/is probably paying premium to have him.
There's nothing remarkable about holding an ATP, so yes work visas for foreigners should only be for those with something great or unique to contribute to society, not run of the mill pilots.

Learn to read man. Or stop intentionally misunderstanding me just so you can be outraged.
The key word there was *leading*. Not run of the mill engineers or scientists. There are some people so specialized they don't have peers. Those are the people those visas should be reserved for. An ATP is an ATP for most purposes, so there aren't *special* or *leading* pilots that would need that visa. Maybe some very specialized training/test pilots, and I'd be fine with them being allowed to work here. Your run of the mill line pilot shouldn't be replaced with someone on a visa, just like run of the mill engineers or scientists shouldn't.
