The number of contractors who are H1-B must be over 75%. I was always under the impression that you must be either a US Citizen or a green card holder to be contractors for the federal government. I guess I was wrong because these government contractors have found a loop hole. They are paying these people dirt cheap while charging the federal government over $300/hr.

We shouldn’t artificially be propping up mediocrity, while brilliant foreigners go to the rest of the developed world and bring their skills and intellect elsewhere.

You’re so naive. A ton of H1B visa candidates grew up highly privileged and in the wealthiest sectors of their societies, and they often fake their skills, resume, and credentials. They are not more talented, in fact they are often very incompetent. They are just cheap labor.

Bcz almost in majority of other countries they go to med school straight after their high school . So when they come for residency here they will be 23 or 24 year old but for a US citizen that when they almost enter the med school after pre med.

I don’t get it that if USA accepts doctors from all over the world who goes to med school straight after high school, why not change the system in USA so that more US born citizens will go to med school with less debt. So you can have more doctors.

When you say American doctors don’t want to serve in rural area , think of it like ….. for a foreign trained doctor if he can get into residency at age of 23 and as per J1 requirements they have to serve rural area for 3 years or else they have to go back to their home country . So if they enter @ 23 for residency and be an IM specialist by 26 and serving under J1 for 3 years by 29 they will be ready to jump to metro areas with big money

But for US born , they enter med school at 22-23 years old bcz they have to complete Pre med. And in USA cost of med school is much more than for many of these foreign trained doctors from Say countries like India. In India they enter med school at age of 17 immediately after high school and by 22 they finish med school and come to USA for residency

No body in USA addresses this main point and keep saying doctors shortage in USA

I’m sure more students will go to med school if there is no pre med and /or the cost is less. In a country like India the med school might cost < 10 K .

Welcome to multinationals building abroad.

Well…the billionaire would have to renounce their citizenship because the US taxes you no matter where you live. Some may do that, but it’s a massive step.

Folks…even if the H1 was free, it’s always been much cheaper to keep labor in their own country and pay significantly lower wages. What this does is discourages people here for college to take their skills back home because they can’t get a job on graduation.

For doctors…something is wrong with our supply chain. All the med schools are 100% filled with mainly Americans yet I guess we don’t have enough doctors….or is it we don’t have enough doctors in certain specialties and too many in others?

According to my research, foreign physicians fill the following gaps:

1) Primary care shortages: Foreign physicians are 5-9 times more likely than U.S. graduates to enter primary care, addressing the projected deficit of over 55,000 primary care doctors by 2033, which U.S. citizens often avoid due to lower pay and demanding workloads.

2) Rural and underserved community gaps: Foreign doctors s are more inclined to practice in rural or Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), where over 20 million Americans live with limited access; U.S. doctors typically prefer urban settings.

3) Unfilled residency slots in critical specialties: International medical graduates fill over 6,600 residency positions annually (highest on record in 2025), particularly in internal medicine and hospital-based roles like inpatient care and emergency rooms, where U.S. applicants do not match all available spots.

Many of his college buddies did the same, but not all of them. Most all of the Indians who emigrated here prior to the 1980s were extremely talented and hard working. I recall most all being scientists, engineers or medical docs. It’s sad to see the Indian worker, and particularly h1b worker so vilified these days.

The vilification has happened due to racism and general inability of America and Americans to compete with the rest of the world, in hard STEM fields that requires intelligence and hard work.

The poor standard of K-12 education and general inability of parents to teach their kids at home means that many cannot compete in these subjects.

The vilification is due to resentment and jealously.

The vilification is because they are willing to pimp themselves out so cheaply and be manipulated for a visa. In the US the general term for that is a Scab (look it up- we may have a short history, but we have a long history of workers standing up against "the man"). The Indians undercut all of that. The Indian grandfather in this story, who came over in the 1950s for a lucrative deal, would be shamed by the system today.

The point you make so well - H1B workers are willing.

They are resilient enough to do well with lower wages, they are smart enough to earn new credentials and skills, they are capable enough to live in US, speak the language, and paying expenses and taxes in dollars, they are super intelligent enough to learn new technologies while American students are falling behind in Math every single year.

Also, with just 30% of white men going to college, where do you think your future scientists, engineers, doctors are going to come from? LOL. Only thing you can do well MAGA is get your people on OnlyFans.

As for your statement "...we have a long history of workers standing up against "the man"..." - Well, well, well - this seems to be a socialist, anti-fascist statement. Awww....do you want the federal govt back now? You want socialism? Govt subsidies? Medicare, medicaid, social security, food stamps, vaccines and Tylenol?

American workers are being gang-raped by GOP billionaires and CEOs. And MAGA is just their uneducated spot boy in the room where this porn is being made. Carry on.

You are responding to me but you think I'm MAGA? What's wrong with you? Can't you read the different nuances and tones from all the participants of the thread? It's not MAGA for this. Plenty of people are for this across the political spectrum.

PS- I love democratic socialism! Universal health care? UBI? Yes please! But the flip side is people will feel even more anti-immigration if we do all this because they don't want "them" to benefit from "handouts". I hope you can learn more about the spectrum of sentiment here in the US and on this very thread.

No, you don't love democratic socialism. There is no spectrum of political sentiment in the US. People voted one way because of hatred and entitlement - and since MAGA deplorable are ill-bred, ill-educated asswipes - they did not know that they themselves would be negatively impacted.

Now TACO policies have shoved a red hot poker up the MAGA butt...and everyone is backtracking.

?? I didn't vote for Trump??
