US Vice President JD Vance Supports Eliminating H-1B Visa Program Citing Misuse
US Vice President JD Vance has called the H-1B visa program "completely broken" and expressed support for its complete elimination, arguing that companies misuse it to replace American workers with lower-paid foreign employees. He distinguished between hiring highly skilled foreign professionals and using the program to reduce labor costs. Vance also defended the administration's $100,000 fee on certain H-1B petitions, intended to discourage companies from exploiting the system. The program, widely used in tech, engineering, and accounting, faces ongoing legal challenges amid these policy changes.
