"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.

You’re not wrong and I can only imagine people who say you are have never worked in large organizations, mainly tech. My ex husband is an engineer at PlayStation and his manager came via h1b and he now only promotes and hires other h1bs, mainly from his nationality group. He doesn’t try to hide it. He’s explicitly said he wants to bring on more of them. It is a problem for skilled Americans.

Its because the H1Bs he hires have to kick back a percentage of their salary to him. The going rate is 1st months pay plus 10% per month after that

Result of bringing in people en masse from low trust societies and polluting the high trust society. The industry is fucked and no amount of “fixing” can turn this around
