US Vice President JD Vance Supports Eliminating H-1B Visa Program Citing Worker Impact
US Vice President JD Vance has called the H-1B visa program "completely broken" and expressed support for its complete elimination. He criticized companies for using the program to replace American workers with lower-paid foreign employees, citing examples where foreign workers earn less than their American counterparts. Vance defended the administration's $100,000 fee on certain H-1B petitions, introduced to discourage misuse of the program for low-cost labor. The visa system allows employers to hire specialized foreign workers, primarily in technology, healthcare, and engineering sectors.
