US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has signaled that the H-1B visa system will face key reforms before the $100,000 fee applies in 2026. He called the lottery “bizarre,” opposed low-cost hiring, and said visas must go to the most highly-skilled workers.

Lutnick said the H-1B visa lottery system is flawed and needs reform. Referring to conversations with the heads of two leading global tech companies, he said they found the concept of allocating visas for skilled workers through a lottery “bizarre.” He argued that the US must ensure visas go only to the most highly skilled professionals.

The commerce secretary took a strong stance against the use of inexpensive tech consultants and trainees. He argued that the practice of bringing in lower-paid workers on H-1B visas should be eliminated. Lutnick stated: “I am completely on the view that this idea that inexpensive tech consultants should be coming into this country and bringing their families, I find it just wrong.” He also suggested that the President shares his position on this issue.
According to Lutnick, H-1B visas are oversubscribed by a factor of seven to ten, with about 74 per cent of applications linked to tech consulting roles. He questioned the importance of requiring tech consultants to be physically present in the United States when much of that work can be done offshore. “H1B visas are for tech consultants? Like, somehow, that’s like important that tech consultants are onshore versus offshore. They’re all in other countries anyway,” he remarked.

mucus’s developer is still working on the Vance subroutine, and he might be getting close. 😉😂😂
“ visas must go to the most highly-skilled workers.”
FINALLY! Common sense from federal government. I never thought I’d live to see the day.
The result of all this ridiculous lottery H-1B visa system is evident in our Silicon Vally town: if you do not speak Hindi or Mandarin, you are an outsider. There’s hardly a white face at the high school any more.
Immigration operated on “bring the best” until the 1960s.

MESSAGE: According to US Commerce Secy Howard Lutnick, H-1B visas are oversubscribed by a factor of seven to ten, with about 74 per cent of applications linked to “tech consulting” that snatches jobs from Americans. Lutnick questioned the importance of requiring Indian visa-holders tech consultants to be physically present in the United States (entitling them to bring in a raft of relatives collecting tax-paid freebies). H1B visas are for “tech consultants” that are all in foreign countries.
You win the lottery you get all the taxpayer money ?
And American citizenship for their anchor baby offspring.
I saw a Walmart flyer yesterday online and Walmart is celebrating Diwali ?
It’s an infestation.
Retard
I’m not the one interacting with the AI chatbot, moron.
Hate those things it isn’t like they don’t know who’s coumputer it is.
No, you are just a plain moron.
Shut it down completely. Shut all visas down. Send everyone home. Round up the overstayers same as illegals, because they are here illegally. After the last one has left, give us 5 years and then we might talk again.
Go chat up your AI bot, mucus. Maybe you can train him on some new spew.
