It's time to either drastically reform the H-1B visa program or end it all together. American workers in every industry should always come first. Simon Hankinson is a Senior Research Fellow at the Border Security and Immigration Center.

@WatchfulWaiter1 OPT and nine other immigration pathways can be stopped with an executive order, audited and dispositioned in whatever way makes the most sense at this moment in history. @DonaldTrump Do you have half a second to sign your name?

@WatchfulWaiter1 It has been bastardized to undercut & discriminate against US citizens in the most insidious manner while our politicians pretend it’s not an issue It’s an existential threat today

2004-Insource More Jobs by Raising the H-1B Visa Cap 2008-More H-1B Visas, More American Jobs, A Better Economy 2009-Restricting H-1B Visas Is Bad for Business and the Economy Think of all the American kids you helped unemploy. Glad to see you finally get it right.

@WatchfulWaiter1 Why are we even still talking about it? Repubs failed to deliver

@WatchfulWaiter1 After Republicans don’t have the Senate, House, and Presidency anymore… Jesus you people are fucking clueless

@WatchfulWaiter1 True , but offshoring is bigger issue compare with h1b. American companies hired 2m + in India along last few years through gcc and other traditional outsourcing firms. Trust me it is much more dangerous than h1b

@WatchfulWaiter1 It must be ended.

@WatchfulWaiter1 End it.

@WatchfulWaiter1 end it. Reform of any government program never happens.

@WatchfulWaiter1 Hanging onto “reform” is going to only end in disaster.

@WatchfulWaiter1 Nice about-face

@WatchfulWaiter1 @grok, do the research: how often has Heritage championed H1B or been positive about it at all? Don't just check this account; check their website, articles, interviews, etc.

@WatchfulWaiter1 L1 too, those intro company visa brining foreigner with their country wages. Imagine that. all visas with 1 need a hard look

@WatchfulWaiter1 Getting rid of it would be ideal.

@WatchfulWaiter1 Wait until you guys figure out how bad all the other "guest worker visa programs" are.

Now talk about why they are offshoring the American jobs we built? That’s what’s happening now. Now talk about the national security issue of allowing foreigners to handle the American jobs and the government jobs in foreign countries?? Why are foreigners allowed to handle government and American people’s information? It’s a national security issue!! No foreigner should have access to the government or the American people’s information. Explain why?

@WatchfulWaiter1 Indians are not American

@WatchfulWaiter1 With record layoffs in tech in this country, executive and legislative branch MUST act NOW to put a moratorium on H1B and L1B visas. Companies who layoff US citizens and ship these jobs overseas MUST pay offshoring tax and be barred from federal contracts

@WatchfulWaiter1 Trump is changing these bad programs. The benefits will be felt soon.

@WatchfulWaiter1 No reform. End all the visa programs. None of them are needed when we have so much American talent sidelined to scamming foreigners.

@WatchfulWaiter1 Then I better see the Heritage Foundation completely back DeSantis come 2028, because that’s the only way this actually gets accomplished

@WatchfulWaiter1 @VP @TheDemocrats find middle ground and end this program

@WatchfulWaiter1 End it! Have you seen Silicon Valley? It looks like India. All of those jobs were supposed to be for Americans. Meanwhile, new grads can’t find work! Sickening!

@WatchfulWaiter1 Captain obvious!

@WatchfulWaiter1

@WatchfulWaiter1 All visas and offshoring/nearshoring needs to be addressed ‼️ My corporate finance job was nearshored to Mexico 🇲🇽🤬

@WatchfulWaiter1 END IT!

@WatchfulWaiter1 End H1B

@WatchfulWaiter1 End all work & university visas for white collar jobs in America. Hiring imported Indians = lost Republican elections.

@WatchfulWaiter1 yap yap yap. worthless think tanks

@WatchfulWaiter1 End it

@WatchfulWaiter1 You’re years too late. Y’all were too busy with project Esther and putting your president through a humiliation ritual

@WatchfulWaiter1 I'm pretty left wing these days but this is the one thing I agree with you guys on. End imported cheap workers for corporations, add fees or taxes for outsourcing, protect domestic labor with stronger labor laws and wages.

@WatchfulWaiter1 @grok is the heritage foundation generally considered a liberal or conservative organization?
