Quick Summary

JD Vance, Vice President and former U.S. Senator from Ohio, has criticized the H-1B visa program, stating that it needs to be eliminated due to widespread abuse by companies seeking cheap labor. In an interview with Real American Voice, Vance argued that the program allows for job displacement of higher-paid American workers by lower-wage foreign workers. Donald Trump Jr endorsed Vance's stance on Twitter, calling those who oppose eliminating the H-1B visa "open border lovers." Meanwhile, two federal judges have blocked a $100K fee imposed last year to restrict H-1B visas; this fee was meant to curb the misuse of the program but has faced legal challenges.

Story summary

JD Vance, Vice President under the Trump administration, recently criticized the H-1B visa program during an interview with Real American Voice from Air Force 2, stating it is "completely broken" and being exploited by various firms to defraud American workers. He noted that if a company uses an H-1B visa to hire someone making $45,000 to replace an American worker earning $60,000, this undermines the purpose of hiring geniuses from abroad. Donald Trump Jr also backed Vance's stance on social media, emphasizing their commitment to protecting American workers while the program remains in place. Both figures have been vocal about these issues over the past few weeks, with Vance previously asserting that technology companies and accounting firms are among those taking advantage of H-1B visas for fraudulent purposes.
