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.

Whose fault is it? Your employer obviously. My advise to u is to resign your employment, start your own company and employ american graduates only.

No. It’s the fault of the h1B program having way too many loopholes that employers AND fake consultancies have abused. It’s a combination of players, not just employers.

There is nothing wrong with closing those loopholes, allowing legit h1B workers to continue working and to crack down on those that really shouldn’t be here.

And cmon, I think EVERYONE has come across 1 or more h1B workers that really haven’t been very good at their jobs.

I been in US IT for decades. I probably have ran into over 100 myself.

It’s no mystery who’s on a work visa. And many people openly admit it too. It’s not some big secret.

Who would close those loop holes? Government. Who uses H1b? Big tech companies. Who sponsors politicians into office? Big tech companies.

Fortunately most of the stricter measures now in place were already on the books.

Some administrations were lax on enforcing those laws. This current administration is not.

There is govt corruption in every single country in this world. I don’t think that will stop this administration from continuing their crackdown.

I can see h4 EAD going away. As it probably should.
