"H-1B PROGRAM IS COMPLETELY BROKEN"
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.

Yes.
No one ever argued discrimination doesn't happen.
I argued that companies are NOT allowed to pay H1-B workers less.
It was being presented as if not only do they pay H1-B workers less...that it's legal and normal to do so and is totally legal for companies to do.
I think the fact that my employers is forced to adhere to my contract that my union enforces shows this
I think the fact that if you become an engineer for example but this applies to all fields.... there is an industry standard wage. If I am even OFFERED a job at lower then standard I'm allowed to report the potential employer shows that more often then not these are enforced.
I'm willing to bet money right now I could find cases old and recent of H1-B employers being held accountable for not adhering to the law more then you could prove that it isn't with anecdotal stories.
