US tech workers seek to end foreign student work permits amid H-1B visa debate

India Today  

US President-elect Donald Trump’s supporters have targeted the Optional Practical Training programme, a critical pathway for international students, particularly Indians, aiming for H-1B visas, accusing it of "killing jobs for new American college graduates". The OPT programme, which allows international students in the US to work temporarily after graduation and serves as a stepping stone for securing H-1B work visas, has become a flashpoint in debates over foreign workers and American jobs. Created illegally like DACA, Trump should end OPT to protect American college grads from unfair competition," the US Tech Workers group wrote on X. Indian students, the largest group of international students in the US, rely heavily on the programme as a pathway to professional opportunities and eventual H-1B visas.
