Trump Rewrites H-1B Program to Help American White-Collar Workers

The reform will end the annual award of 85,000 H-1B visas by lottery, which has been gamed by companies to import foreign workers at wages far below the salaries needed by American professionals.

"The current use of random selection to allocate H-1B visas hurts American workers by bringing in relatively lower-paid foreign labor at the expense of the American workforce."

They're laying off American workers left and right because there is so much cheap [foreign] labor in North Carolina They're hiring anybody through third-party consulting companies, and they are paying them on 1099s to work at the financial institutions.

They're replacing American workers such as risk managers and actuaries - any jobs they can fill with cheap labor.

At least another 600,000 foreign workers hold white-collar jobs after being imported via other pipelines, dubbed Optional Practical Training, L-1, J-1, TN, Curricular Practical Training, and H4EAD. Some of these million-plus foreign workers stay in the United States until they are trained by Americans and can take the white-collar jobs back to India.

Many more visa workers work as gig workers for little-known subcontractors in the hopes of getting into the H-1B program so they can get citizenship.

Corporate diversity reports, university reports, and census data show that large slices of the nation's technology workforce consist of ill-paid, ill-treated foreign workers who have the same job security and professional authority as migrant stoop workers in U.S. fields.
