Abolish the H‑1B Visa

Updated: 2026.04.15 5H ago 1 sources
The H‑1B program is so structurally skewed toward corporate interests that incremental reform cannot fix it; Congress should repeal it and replace it with a system that does not let firms import entry‑level foreign tech labor to suppress domestic wages. The case rests on newly public documents showing lobbyists rewrote the 1990 law and on labor‑market evidence of substitution of foreign workers into entry roles. — Abolishing H‑1B would reshape U.S. tech hiring, immigration politics, and debates about industrial policy, wages, and talent pipelines.
