The Epoch Times: Trump Supporters Are Debating the H-1B Visa—What is it?
The H-1B visa, established by the 1990 Immigration Act, allows nonimmigrants to work in the U.S. in specialty occupations requiring at least a bachelor's degree. While it is favored by Big Tech for filling tech roles, it faces criticism for potential abuse and the displacement of American workers.
In 2023, most H-1B holders came from India, with tech companies like Amazon and Google being major sponsors. Supporters argue it is essential for attracting STEM talent, while critics highlight issues like wage theft and layoffs of American workers. Elon Musk recently acknowledged the need for reform in the H-1B program.
