H-1B Visas

Critics argue that companies, particularly in the tech industry, use H-1B visas to hire foreign workers at lower wages, undercutting American employees.

Some claim it facilitates outsourcing, as firms like Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services use the program to bring workers to the U.S. for training before sending jobs offshore.

Additionally, visa sponsorship dependency can leave H-1B holders vulnerable to exploitation, as switching employers is difficult.

Concerns over lottery-based selection rather than merit-based allocation also fuel debates about program reform.
