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
Rise and Shine! Nothing goes better with that first cup of coffee than our hot off the press newsletter. And this one will knock your socks off:

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

It’s time for a statewide review of H-1B usage across all government entities.
There’s no evidence of this lawsuit. @InsiderWire is likely confusing it with the recent Cloudera lawsuit. Cognizant is a $25 billion company. Cloudera is a $5 billion company.
