Musk is full of it on H1B Visas - they are primarily used to replace US workers with lower wage foreigners.

DAVID MARCUS: Big-brained Ramaswamy, Musk pick fight they can't win

Columnist David Marcus writes that Vivek Ramaswamy's criticism of the American worker, echoed by DOGE partner Elon Musk, started an internecine civil war in the GOP all for nothing.

He is right on this and they need to be reduced not increased. Musk and Vivek are full of crap. Vivek is trying to spin it now but he showed his true hand. Hopefully Trump will not allow this crap to be expanded. It's mostly just payouts to big business that screws US workers. IT and programming workers have really been abused with this nonsense to bring in cheaper foreign labor.

Hopefully Trump will stand up for the people who put him in office.

Yep we elected him not Elon Musk. Kind of surprised Musk was naive enough to show his hand on that and let it out prior to Trump taking office. Vivek is literally comedy central with his spinning now trying to act like he meant he was against DEI etc. Anyone with sense sees what H1Bs are being used for and why crooked big business loves them.

y’all are wrong on H1B - it’s not the program, but those who are approving the folk. We’ve been paying lawyers $5k a year to get one of our engineers to get H1B so he can stay beyond his student grace period and couldnt freaking get the needle to move

Anyone saying they are replacing US workers
with lower wage people don’t have the right info

I worked in IT for over 25 years at large companies and we were absolutely laying off Americans and replacing them with lower cost people from India.

They are in IT and programming. The crooked businesses even practically force the workers they are going to get rid of to train their H1B replacements. This has been shown when they they looked into what these businesses were actually doing.

It's a joke among programmers. If you're training someone from India on your job, you'd better be working on your resume.

H1B Visas need to be EXTREMELY limited, if not eliminated…

Yep just a very small amount for true brain drain for like defense companies. The US has enough people to fill our needs.
