The majority of H1-B holders are not displacing American workers in the sensationalist way that people often describe.
Sure, root out corruption where it exists. But, open immigration is one of the biggest advantages that the US economy has, and many of people on H1-B are exceptionally bright.
The larger problem is American companies outsourcing IT to India, which often leads to innumerable headaches.
Yeah I am so sick of getting those calls from some guy with an Indian accent that says he works for Microsoft and he wants to fix my computer that doesn't even have Microsoft software on it.
That and the fake calls from the IRS. I think its the same guy.
And that's why Trump kicked the mainstream republican's butts in 2016.
Yet the only thing his administration has done has been to increase rejection rates for H1Bs. That doesn't mean we're handing out fewer of them. It's just only slightly harder to get them, takes slightly longer, there's more chance you'll be denied, etc...but we're still handing out 85k brand new ones and renewing hundreds of thousands of them every year. And Indians here feel entitled to our jobs in our country.
Republicans, specifically George W. Bush, created this problem.
The act that created H1Bs was passed while G H W B was POTUS, and was expanded in 1998 and 2000 when Clinton was President. In 2004, the only thing the GWB admin did was REDUCE the number of H1bs allowed.
Technically, Dubyah's dad created it, Clinton made it worse, then Dubyah actually tried to make it better.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled partisan ignorance of recent history.
