A Petition for Immediate Administrative Reforms to Our Non-Immigrant Visa System
Our petition seeks immediate action from the U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to address the widespread harm caused by the mismanagement and exploitation of immigration programs, including H-1B, PERM, and F-1/OPT. These programs have led to both the displacement of U.S. workers and wage suppression. Combined with a lack of transparency, these programs have contributed to the erosion of job opportunities for American workers, particularly in the tech sector. By allowing employers to abuse these programs, U.S. agencies have created an environment in which American workers and students are unfairly forced to compete with cheaper foreign labor, ultimately harming the long-term stability of the U.S. labor market.

Why does Auburn University need a H1B for Human Resources job?
Just for context FY 2024 was absolutely nuts in terms of registrations so we would expect a drop just if registrations returned to historical average
H-1Bs aren't "down 90%" — the cap is still 85,000 and FY27 will likely fill it. But lottery registrations are down ~70% from the FY24 peak, and that's not nothing. @realDonaldTrump's $100K fee targets offshore/consular petitions specifically — the lifeblood of TCS, Infosys,
H1B Visas down 90%
False asylum claims down 95%
I went on Padhaku Nitin and spoke about how the H-1B program actually works on the ground. Not the sanitised version peddled by policy wonks, academics, and the American liberal media (hello, New York Times). This system—or, more accurately, the “Indian diaspora’s best kept
The H-1B program was designed to suppress wages of Americans. It was always the goal. Now it’s being admitted.
1/ The open-borders lobby wants you to celebrate a Libyan pulmonologist in rural Indiana. Before you do, consider what Libya loses.
2/ Libya has a WHO-documented specialist shortage in pulmonology, cardiology, anesthesia, and radiology. The entire country has roughly 124 family

The art of lying with statistics:
1. Compare H-1B workers to the entire U.S. workforce to make the number look tiny to conceal sector specific-effects.
Then, when called out:
2. Compare heavily concentrated IT/tech H-1Bs to **every** STEM profession under the sun so the
Another deceptive part of their charts:
They treat H-1Bs like a static, temporary population that never accumulates.
But many H-1B workers transition into Green Cards and become permanent participants in the labor market.
So the long-term labor supply effect is much larger
They also conveniently exclude other guest worker pipelines entirely:
OPT, L-1, J-1, TN, CPT, H4EAD, etc.
All these programs are uncapped and lightly regulated, and feed into the exact same tech sectors as the H-1B program itself.

This morning, the University of Pennsylvania (@Penn) filed a notice of intent to hire an H-1B Data Analyst
Salary: $79,584
Ohio University (@ohiou) has posted a notice of intent to hire two H-1B Guidance Counselors
Salaries: $52,530 & $46,072
Nobody in Ohio was qualified for these jobs. They must be done by Indians.
