H-1B visa program under fire: Senator Sanders blasts Elon Musk, says tech giants exploit H-1B program to replace US jobs

Live Mint  

Senator Bernie Sanders, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, voiced strong opposition to the H-1B visa program, pushing back against claims made by billionaire tech leaders, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Sharply criticising recent remarks by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, both close allies of President-elect Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders voiced strong opposition to the H-1B visa program, pushing back against claims also made by other billionaire tech leaders. Sanders asserted, “The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire ‘the best and the brightest,’ but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad.” Corporate layoffs and guest worker hiring under scrutiny Sanders highlighted data showing that major corporations utilizing the H-1B program laid off at least 85,000 American workers in 2022 and 2023, while hiring over 34,000 H-1B workers. Proposed reforms to protect American workers Sanders called for significant reforms to the H-1B program, including raising the minimum wage for guest workers, ensuring they can switch jobs easily, and requiring corporations to prioritize hiring American workers.
