H-1B visa scheme advocates accused of ‘gaslighting the public to sell a program that otherwise isn’t sellable’
The H-1B visa program faces criticism over its impact on American STEM graduates. A report published by WND questions whether the system favors foreign workers over Americans seeking jobs in their fields.
H-1B Visa Program and STEM Graduates
More than 500,000 American students graduate each year with degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, according to the report. Many enter these fields expecting strong career opportunities.
However, the report argues that employers’ use of foreign workers creates challenges for American graduates seeking those opportunities.
Supporters Defend the Visa System
According to immigration advocacy group FWD.us, approximately 730,000 H-1B workers lived in the United States as of January 2025. The group also reported slightly more than half a million dependents.
Supporters describe the H-1B visa program as a way to attract highly skilled workers and help companies keep jobs in America.
Critics dispute that argument. The report examines their concerns about hiring incentives and American graduates’ access to STEM careers.
