Summary

The thread argues that the H-1B visa program is exploitative, with 406,348 FY2025 approvals overwhelmingly favoring tech roles (62%), primarily filled by Indian nationals (70%), while displacing American workers and creating national security risks through Chinese talent accessing sensitive industries.

Summarized by ThreadOut AI from the full thread. May miss nuance — read the thread below.

  1. #1

    H-1B fraud is a scam on American workers. I just received the official USCIS FY2025 H-1B report. Over 406,348 approvals. What I found is a flood of foreign labor. Sovereignty, security, and basic morality be damned. 🧵

  2. #2

    62% of all H-1B approvals? Tech-related occupations. Over 252,000. Over 60% of ALL approvals were for tech and IT roles Americans already fill. Big Tech uses this program to import cheap replacements while laying off U.S. workers. Disgraceful.

  3. #3

    While Washington pats themselves on the back, American workers are told to “upskill” or get replaced by H-1B hires. The entire system is designed to let companies take advantage of the law. While American grads and workers pay the price.

  4. #4

    The data is crystal clear from the official report: India: 283,772 approvals (almost 70%) Tech jobs dominate Continuing employment (extensions) = 72% of total

  5. #5

    An ex-visa officer in India shared the dirty secret: 70-90% of Indian applicants gamed the system with fake credentials. Then, Indian workers hire their own while axing American jobs. Once they’re in, they stay, bringing more, while American talent gets left out.

    And China? They’re flooding sensitive science & tech roles, where the CCP steals our IP and spies on U.S. companies. While H-1B is an economic betrayal, it's also a national security nightmare. Why on earth should the American people lose their jobs to fund CCP crimes?

  7. #7

    50,000 Chinese nationals approved last year alone. Our national security nightmare is far from over unless we shut it down.

  8. #8

    The H-1B program is displacing American workers. The H-1B program is a national security nightmare. Enough. No more flooding the market with 400k+ H-1B visas while our people and our sovereignty gets screwed.
