Nobody in America was qualified for this job.

Not a single democrat will stop this

This is part of the job description for the H-1B position that @Mizzou posted online. The claim that H-1B visas are only for highly specialized talent that no qualified American can fill is clearly a lie.

Any of my friends and colleagues could do this job. Anyone 2 years out of college, even 1 year out. A smart American young adult of any ethnicity, of any background, so long as they’ve proved themselves a bit in college, could be easily trained to do this job.

(2-3 years out could figure it out with little to no training, one year out might have to be monitored, hand holding for 3-6 months)

H1b is basically ethnically choosing who this will be. Down to 1-3 countries of origin. That is wrong. Full stop.

Missouri is a red state, isn’t it? Can OP answer why the Republicans there are letting this happen?

I’m op of the thread and I’m not sure wtf you’re talking about. But this is not a Dem or Rep issue. Both sides suck on this issue.

You’re stupid. The GOP is the one currently in power. Why are you harping about Democrats?

Huh? Where am I harping? You don’t seem to understand that there are many people on this thread.

And so many people are so thick or immigrants themselves so they don’t know the history

We know republicans are evil and lie and will support big business over workers

The tragedy is that democrats used to be our party. They were the party of labor only a generation back. But they have abandoned workers and become just like republicans.

So when people say that republicans are in power so they should repeal these programs, you are missing the forest for the trees

Democrats claim that they are the party of workers, then act like it, and do what your parent democrats would have done. Stop these visa programs used by big business to replace our own children with cheaper foreign labor.

They were also the party of slavery. IMO they never really came clean on exploitation. Especially the Northern Democrats who were financing exploitation around the world for many years after the civil war. My read is the whole "civil rights" for "immigrants" (Landmark legislation were passed in the same year) exchange was nothing more than a way to drive a wedge in the American working class.

Oh yes, the ol' party of slavery schtick -- the party that pushed for the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act was a way to hurt white middle class. Grievance politics at its best.

The Dem party that's full of cat ladies and queers vs the MAGA/R party full of white nationalists and KKK members.

-minority immigrant and former R

Ludicrous to compare Democrats of the 1800s to Democrats of today. Just because they share a name means nothing. If you want to keep your line of thinking, I'd encourage you to eat a latrine cake, because it's 'cake.'

I think it's more relevant than your kumbaya 60's.

Actually the Dem party was a bit too kumbaya. I always felt that way as a former R. I can see that slowly changing, though. Fight fire with fire. Forget the "they go low we go high" bs.

Trump hires foreign workers over Americans because he wants white workers at his resorts, not minorities even if they are Americans.

He was called out on this practice, but MAGA chose to and continues to choose to ignore it.

Trump's businesses also uses H1s, hell is wife came here on an H1. But, MAGA also continues to ignore that part, too.

Why does Trump get to hire visa workers but other companies that do that are bad bad bad, and it's the Dems fault, even though Dems have no power right now?

I will say, though, that if/when Dems do get into power, they should deal with the border issue and visa fraud. I agree with that, but right now, Dems have no power.

So, really, right now, this is all on the Rs, including Trump, purveyor of visa workers.

Oh yeah, and with posts like this. We hope it stays that way.

Bottom line Democrats do have power in different places besides the federal government for example one or two state legislatures, city municipalities, companies or educational institutions.

There is no sign what-so-ever that Democrats have any inclination to stem immigration. None, no sign, nada. All pro-immigration policies are still in effect any of those jurisdictions or institutions.

1. University of Michigan
2. Johns Hopkins
3. Penn
4. Columbia
5. Emory

Median wages: $68-$77k

Tech median H-1B wage is $97.6k

Academia pays H-1B workers a deep discount for jobs that could easily be done by Americans.

We highlighted how Michigan abuses their cap-exempt status to hire foreigners...

So who doesn't hire H-1B? Top 20, ranked by undergrad enrollment.

You have to give it to the Mormons, they hire American.

Texas AG Ken Paxton issued investigative demands to nearly 30 North Texas businesses regarding H-1B fraud.

Investigators are targeting firms allegedly using ghost offices and empty buildings to secure worker sponsorships.

The probe aligns with 2026 state-led enforcement efforts to increase scrutiny on foreign worker visa compliance.

Named firms include Tekpro IT LLC, Fame PBX LLC, 1st Ranking Technologies LLC, Qubitz Tech Systems LLC, Blooming Clouds LLC, Virat Solutions, Inc., Oak Technologies Inc., Techpath Inc., and Techquency LLC. State officials said the list is part of a wider group of nearly 30 businesses in North Texas.

The action places Texas among the few states using its own enforcement tools against alleged fraud in a federal work visa program. It also follows Governor Greg Abbott’s executive order on January 27, 2026, which froze new H-1B petitions for Texas state agencies and public universities.

As usual , democrats are suing to expand h1b and NO democrats are involved in this investigation.
