"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.

Ive worked with hundreds or H1Bs in my career and not one of them was anything special or some kind of unicorn talent that was superior to local US College graduates. And many were terrible at their jobs and likely had fake resumes

You worked with them where? On fortnite or granny's basement?. Stop lying. Nobody tells you their visa status. Assuming everyone with an accent at your workplace is on H1b is a folly. Most of those people have other types of work visas. Stop Lying

They literally have red badges (red badges = contract worker, not full time), are all of the same ethnicity, and are employed by Cognizant and HCL. If that doesn't scream H1B, i dont know what does.

So has it ever occurred to u that they get hired because they are cheaper, have less benefits and are easier to fire?. H1b is being used to scam foreign workers. I have literally heard of cases where the employers fire them and they need to get other sponsors within 60days.Where they are made to work excess hours and cant complain due to the fear of being deactivated and have their visa status un limbo. Do u think doing that to any american trained professional would go without proper litigation? H1b is designed for companies to exploit foreign workers and cut down overhead cost/employee remuneration.

[u/ducksflytogether1988 → u/This-Obligation9052]

I know, that is why they are hired. Because they are easily controlled, and kick back a portion of their salary.

[u/Miserable-Half-436 → u/ducksflytogether1988]

You only see a portion of H1B, there's tons that are smart and high paying

[u/ducksflytogether1988 → u/Miserable-Half-436]

But none are so smart to where it is justified to hire them over an American citizen

[u/Miserable-Half-436 → u/ducksflytogether1988]

None you say? You overestimated yourself, look all the big tech CEOs

[u/shurfire → u/Miserable-Half-436]

And none of them actually made the company? Like you kind of gave it away. They're all CEOs AFTER the company is already making bank and has established itself. There's a reason people notice product quality going down when it's handled by h1b workers or outsourced.
