NYT: H1-B to be changed to favor higher income workers
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 6th, 2025 10:21 AM Author: ''"'''"''"''''"'' Historically, 85,000 visas are provided to hire so-called high-skilled foreign workers at companies through a lottery process. Mr. Edlow’s proposed changes would have to be approved through the federal government’s rule-making process.
Doug Rand, a former Biden administration official, said changing the H1-B process to favor higher-wage earners was misguided.
“Like it or not, the H-1B program is the main way that U.S. companies can hire the best and brightest international graduates of U.S. universities, and Congress never allowed D.H.S. to put its thumb on the scale based on salary,” he said. |

Indian nationals account for 72% of H1B visas, data over the years shows. The Chinese come second with 12%. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5759077&forum_id=2/#49161382) |

Date: August 6th, 2025 10:38 AM Author: Erika McEnfarter This program needs to be ended completely. That can only happen by an act of Congress as Congress is the one that created it. I had hoped Trump would rally Congress to do this but his priority has been tax cuts for the rich (both terms).
Prioritizing higher salary workers is fine but doesn't go far enough. 85,000 Americans will still lose out on new jobs every year to foreigners - now it will just be higher earning foreigners.
