we KNOW that. Republicans are evil.

But why have Democrats joined Republicans and in many situations are WORSE because of how they advocate for more and more overwhelming immigration on the backs of US workers.

Democrats used to be the party of labor.

Where are Democrats clamoring for more H1Bs? Post links.

Not a single democrat.

Republicans have become the party of labor

House Republicans just introduced the End H-1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026 — a 3-YEAR PAUSE on new H-1B visas + massive reforms to protect American workers from Big Tech abuse!

Key provisions of the bill include:

• Reducing the annual H-1B visa cap from 65,000 to 25,000 and eliminating all existing exemptions.

• Limiting visas to a single three-year term (instead of two).

• Requiring applicants to maintain a foreign residence they intend to return to.

• Mandating that employers attest they cannot find a qualified U.S. worker, that hiring the foreign worker will not harm American workers, and that they have not laid off (and will not lay off) U.S. workers in the prior or following year.

• Setting a minimum salary of $200,000 for H-1B workers.

• Awarding visas based on the highest wage offered, replacing the current lottery system.

• Prohibiting H-1B workers from working for multiple employers or third-party staffing agencies.

• Codifying President Trump’s $100,000 fee per H-1B hire.

• Banning H-1B (and H-2A/H-2B) workers from bringing family members to the U.S.

• Preventing the federal government from sponsoring or employing nonimmigrant workers.

• Requiring nonimmigrant workers to leave the U.S. before changing to another immigration status.

The bill is co-sponsored by Reps. Brian Babin (R-TX), Brandon Gill (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Wesley Hunt (R-TX), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Keith Self (R-TX), and Andy Ogles (R-TN). In the Senate, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) has voiced support for a temporary pause on the H-1B program.

Fantastic!!!!

Ironic that all the billionaires moved to Florida and Texas, but Florida and Texas both took actions to restrict H-1B. I don't understand why Democrats think they can't take that away.

We've seen that one before. Remember Biden when they asked what his policy was. "Trust me I'm not Trump" Then he spent more time undoing Trump's EO than anything else. They tried to pass amnesty through reconciliation numerous times. They repeatedly tried to give away green cards in the Chips Act.

Mum isn't good enough for Democrats anymore.

They have to make their policy clear, and by clear they need to actually do something. They have levers they can pull, but right now the Republican states are the ones doing it. Florida and Texas restricted H-1B in public schools.

Why haven't Democrat states that claim to be anti-H-1b done that?

Is it a coincidence that Florida’s public schools are abysmal?

#22 thru grade 12 is not abysmal. #1 for higher education, according to US News.

Except the tech bros will ask Trump to not support it, and since they finance him, Trump will agree.

Democratic states are suing the federal government to allow MORE h1bs for public universities

In what planet does a party that wants to help workers actively pushes to replace workers with cheap foreign labor???

More hysterical MAGA screeching.
Trump has been in office for well over a year. If this is such a great priority why hasn’t he done anything about H1Bs? He seems to have plenty of time to hold rallies, play golf and start wars.

We've seen token legislative initiatives from the Democrats, but what are they doing in the jurisdictions they control, eg the cities and states. Do they have any actions they point to that show that they are actively reigning in their historically pro-immigration stance? So far only thing that has been on the new is Minneapolis.

Not enough but …

Trump tightened standards for skilled-worker visas, especially the H-1B visa program.

* Increased denial rates.
* Narrowed the definition of “specialty occupation.”
* Proposed rules favoring higher-paid applicants.
* In his second term, imposed a controversial $100,000 fee on many new H-1B petitions.

Also ,Trump backed legislation like the RAISE Act, which would have sharply reduced legal immigration by cutting family-sponsored green cards and ending the diversity visa lottery. While Congress did not pass it, the proposal made his goals clear.

His administration also increased scrutiny and processing times for green card applications, resulting in more requests for evidence, denials, and delays.

In addition …

One of the biggest changes was the “public charge” rule. It expanded the criteria for denying green cards or visas to applicants who were deemed likely to use public benefits such as Medicaid, SNAP, or housing assistance. This affected many family-based immigrants. Courts later blocked or overturned much of this policy.

Meanwhile Democrats that advocate for favoring US workers over h1bs -> NONE

If that's the case and Trump has done all of this great and wonderful stuff, then why are we seeing increased numbers of layoffs of US tech workers and US tech workers having a harder and harder time finding work? Why are US tech companies still flooded with foreign workers?

It's not gonna happen. At the end of the day, Americans CREATED the technology, and know how to run it. It's a lie that America lacks the skills set, perpetuated by the South Asian H1B scam pipeline.

The H1Bs are carpetbaggers not cut from top quality material. Some of them are highly intelligent and skilled. Let them stay. Structure the program so it doesn't harm highly skilled, capable Americans.

Explain what Trump has his $150B army in the streets knocking down doors, yet hasn't rejected any fraudulent H1B applications. He wants the problem to continue to exist so his suppoeters stay angry. He wants companies to pay his slush fund $100K but refuses to enforce the EXISTING law that requires an absence of people willing to accept the job at higher pay.

The tech is created by H1Bs and H1B-to-greencard/citizens. Look at the names on the published papers.
Look at the names of the kids winning all the STEM awards.
