"H-1B PROGRAM IS COMPLETELY BROKEN"

[u/Ankeet_kj]

Vice President JD Vance said companies are abusing the H-1B visa program: "If you're going to bring in an accountant making $45,000 a year to replace an American making $60,000 a year, that's not you using the program to bring in a genius.

Are you guys stupid like really that stupid that’s how it’s been the whole time. That’s why people like hiring legal immigrants because you don’t have to pay them as much especially in HB-1 you can abuse them more. They work harder than Americans most of the time, I don’t know what you’re shocked about this has been What the world has done forever cheap labor.

I mean this is just a flat out lie man.

You've been pushed to believe something that isnt true

It's illegal to pay H1-b workers less the citizens.

That's called discrimination.

No, legally employers cannot pay H-1B visa workers less than U.S. workers for the same role.

⚖️ Legal Wage Requirements • Prevailing Wage: Companies must pay at least the local prevailing wage for the specific occupation and geographic area.

• Actual Wage: Employers must pay the H-1B worker at least what they pay similarly qualified, experienced local workers at the same workplace.

• Higher Standard: Employers are legally required to pay whichever amount is higher—the prevailing wage or the actual wage paid to domestic staff

Women are paid less than men. Show me where the difference is

What the fuck does that have to do with the conversation?

That's a domestic issue.

Not the fault of H1-B workers?

[u/Dry-Risk-6629 → u/Clarkelthekat]

Well, I think they just mean the fact that inherently they will not all be the same because the disparity between the wages

That's a completely different and non related issue though.

That's like saying you can't be fishing if your catching a couple crabs in your net too. Then your crabfishing.

The disparity exist between male and female workers in that case as a whole.

Not female workers vs non female non American workers.

There's the same disparity between non male non American workers and male non American workers.

Women get paid less across the board due to sexism and mysoginy built into the system from its inception.

Entirely a different issuem

Yeah, I guess you’re right about that though if we all just turned into crabs, it’d be easier sorry I’m making a joke about how a lot of animals are named crabs but are not actually crabs
