[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny how all these patriotic Americans are foaming at the mouth seeing Indians buying new construction houses, while ignoring the MAGA tech bros who use the H1B program to hire them.

.. and let's not forget that Trump uses visa workers, and he said,

[quote]“No, you don’t have certain talents and people have to learn.” He added, “You can’t take people off an unemployment line and say, ‘I’m going to put you into a factory where we’re going to make missiles.’”

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. [/quote]

Not a single democrat.

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.

J.D. Vance has spoken out strongly against H-1B visas as a Senate candidate in Ohio, but his history as a venture capitalist tells a different story.

Vance’s history on workers’ issues is politically savvy but rarely substantive. Instead, Vance displays a repeated practice of claiming to support workers and their right to organize while practicing business-as-usual anti-union and anti-worker politics.
