GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has vowed to “gut” the system for H-1B temporary worker visas if he wins the White House.
It’s the very system he’s used in the past to hire high-skilled foreign workers for the pharma company that built much of his wealth.
From 2018 through 2023, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved 29 applications for Ramaswamy’s former company, Roivant Sciences, to hire employees under H-1B visas, which allow U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in tech and other specialized jobs.
Yet, the H-1B system is “bad for everyone involved,” Ramaswamy told POLITICO.
“The lottery system needs to be replaced by actual meritocratic admission. It’s a form of indentured servitude that only accrues to the benefit of the company that sponsored an H-1B immigrant. I’ll gut it,” he said in a statement, adding that the U.S. needs to eliminate chain-based migration.
“The people who come as family members are not the meritocratic immigrants who make skills-based contributions to this country.”

He’s a leftist, globalist leech who wants to say anything MAGA wants to hear.
I tried to find a Politico alternative for this story but didn’t see one.
“Ramaswamy wants to end the H-1B visa program he used 29 times”
LOL
He will say anything.
but he's the ONLY ONE TALKING ABOUT ENDING IT, YOU MORONS.
He or anyone else would be a fool to not take advantage of a program offered by the government. Do you take income tax deductions? Do you agree with the nature of everyone of them? Did you take COVID payments? If the government is handing out free money, I would be a fool to not take everything to which I was legitimately entitled, even if I otherwise disagree with the program.
I LUV Romney-Swami
If he is making ammends for past wrongdoings...does he get credit ? Just asking.
As a Brahmin, it is Vivek’s birthright and destiny to speak with a forked tongue.
He would be, as a business person, foolish to not have used it if the other companies were using it.
It is sort of like Trump dealing with the gangsters that control the NYC construction unions. It doesn’t mean he liked.it
I don’t support the guy. Just saying.
No he doesn’t
What are we going to do since the U.S. doesn’t produce enough qualified engineers? The majority of students in advanced degree programs are not born in the U.S. We are going to send those people back to use the skills we gave them against the U.S.?
That doesn’t excuse his epic sleaziness in other areas.
Milton Freedman said that the government shouldn’t give money away to people, but if they wanted to give you money, you should take it. I think Social Security is unconstitutional, but I still take the deposits.
no he doesn’t get credit for trying to make amends, because people will be skeptical as to whether he really means it.
He isn’t going to end it. He’s just tickling your ears.
How in the hell do people still listen to this guy? How can they not see what he’s all about?
Yes, they need to go back.
Why should our kids take an advanced degree program when the job prospects have been destroyed due to H1B cheap labor?
No, he’s Trump’s little disruptor minion. I wonder what Trump promised him to run?
