Breitbart: H-1B Uproar Obscures Vast Workforce of Other White-Collar Migrants
The U.S. issues approximately 130,000 H-1B visas annually, but the inflow of other white-collar foreign workers is significantly higher, with about 650,000 additional visas granted each year. This influx creates a resident population of at least 1.5 million white-collar workers, which is nearly twenty times the H-1B program's annual count.
Critics argue that these programs undercut American graduates by allowing employers to prioritize foreign workers, often leading to lower wages and job competition. Recent changes by the Biden administration aim to increase the number of foreign workers, raising concerns about the impact on the U.S. labor market amid significant layoffs in professional sectors.
