 Controversy Over U.S. Immigration Policy

  • After Sriram Krishnan was appointed AI policy advisor to Trump, MAGA supporter Laura Loomer criticized him and Indian immigrants.

  • Loomer doxxed Krishnan but later apologized; she remains against increasing skilled foreign workers.

  • Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and David Sacks support the H-1B visa program, with Musk calling it vital for U.S. innovation.

H-1B Visa Program Overview

  • The H-1B visa was revamped in 1990, aiming to attract skilled workers in STEM fields.

  • Initially capped at 65,000 visas, it grew during the dot-com boom and now includes 20,000 slots for advanced degree holders.

  • In 2023, 72% of H-1B visas went to Indian workers, mostly in tech.

Impact of H-1B Workers

  • Studies show H-1B workers boost wages and productivity for U.S. workers, particularly in STEM fields.

  • Foreign workers complement native workers, often specializing in different roles, and have contributed significantly to innovation and patents.

  • Immigrants transitioning to permanent residency are entrepreneurial and create jobs.

Criticism and Future Reforms

  • Critics argue Indian IT firms exploit the program by combining offshore centers with on-site U.S. staff, limiting true innovation.

  • Calls are growing for a skilled worker immigration policy that prioritizes individual skills and education over company-driven interests.
