Joe Biden Giving Companies Second Chance at Outsourcing U.S. Jobs

President Joe Biden is giving companies a second chance at outsourcing American jobs to foreign H-1B visa workers.

USCIS rescinded three reforms pertaining to the H-1B visa program, which has been readily used for years by companies to replace Americans in high-paying white-collar jobs.

The reforms helped prevent multinational corporations from using Indian outsourcing firms to grab loads of foreign H-1B visa workers to fill U.S. jobs.

Now, eligible companies that were denied H-1B visas under each of the reforms can appeal the denial in the hopes of nabbing foreign visa workers.

"All of those H-1Bs were rejected for a reason, to fight outsourcing companies who abuse the H-1B lottery and game the system," the group continued.

Last month, the Biden administration rescinded a Trump reform that prevented companies from bringing entry-level computer programmers to the U.S. to fill jobs on the H-1B visa, noting that the occupation did not meet the program's "Specialty occupation" requirement.

Soon after the 2020 presidential election, the business lobby began asking Biden to end Trump's reforms to the H-1B visa program in the hopes they can maximize profits by outsourcing labor.
