H-1B visa's ugly truth: Firms don't look to hire Americans, says investor
Business Standard India ^ | 10/27/2025 | Surbhi Gloria Singh

Posted on 10/27/2025 7:44:26 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

US entrepreneur and former Dogecoin adviser James Fishback has called for a complete halt on hiring skilled workers from India and other countries, saying American companies should focus on local talent instead.

Fishback, who leads the investment firm Azoria and has previously worked with Elon Musk, said in a post on X that major technology companies are giving jobs to people from India and China while qualified Americans struggle to find opportunities.

US companies “not looking for Americans”

“Here’s the ugly truth: they’re not even looking for Americans. They refuse to interview them. They hide job postings in obscure newspapers to ‘check the box’, and when no one ‘applies’, they import another foreign worker,” said Fishback. He said this denies “qualified American[s] a job, a wage, and the dignity and purpose that come with both.”

Fishback said there are enough skilled workers in the United States, but companies overlook them in favour of cheaper overseas hires through the H-1B visa route.

Calls for a halt to legal immigration

Fishback said even legal skilled immigration was unnecessary.

“I support a complete immigration moratorium. Because what makes America special isn’t who we import, it’s who we already have,” said Fishback. He said millions of US citizens remain “underemployed, underpaid, or overlooked”.

Foreign workers told to build in their own countries

Fishback urged people in India, China and other countries to stay home and contribute to their own economies.

“To those abroad who love freedom and dream of coming here: I don’t blame you. You want what we have. But your countries need you,” said Fishback. “Stay there. Build something worthy there. Make your nation strong, as we make ours great again.”

Well duh, of course they don’t want to hire Americans, they would rather hire all manner of subhuman vermin so they can treat them poorly and pay them less.

I absolutely hate pajeets.

Fine. Send a few CEOs and board members to Riker's Island to get their minds right.

I'm pretty sure that campaign donations have kept that in check for this part of The Swamp.

You didnt have to name call. U.S. companies arent hiring Americans because the boards are full of a$$holes who dont want to pay for american workers.

HR departments, transwomen suing instead of doing their jobs, Blacks crying " racism" because they have to show up on time- yes, being on time is racist,

pregnancy leave, AND OTHER THINGS, iow.. YOU CAN TELL SOMEONE ON A VISA TO SUCK IT UP OR GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY.

They are liberals still wanting slaves

P.s. the south didnt go to war over <2% of the population being slave owners. In 1860, Southern democrats were more republican in ideas than conservatives today!

It’s ridiculous for so many here to be accusing Indians of ‘stealing’ jobs, when our own companies are the ones GIVING them the jobs.

Maybe they don’t want to hire Americans because they are emotionally unstable and lousy workers.

It’s not all due to bias against our citizens. Employers don’t need graduates of DEI U., graduates with junk degrees, white professional women on psychiatric drugs, and blacks who see discrimination under every bush.

American companies hiring Indians better take care they’re not seen as “colluding with India.”

“Indians who are coming now, are part of a sub rosa Indian plan across the globe, coming from India, of course, to “spread influence and power” through sheer “brute force immigration,” while self-motivated India simultaneously rids their hellhole country of its excess population, easing its own burden, and reducing the number of shi* piles in their streets and waterways.” (Captainpaintball post )

Stop trolling.

Once an Indian gets into management, he tends to hire only other pajeets.

“when our own companies are the ones GIVING them the jobs.”

When an Indian is hired as an exec or manager they tend only to hire Indians.

If they can find an Indian who'll do a job for $30K a year why would they hire an American who'll expect $80K a year?

If the company didn’t want to operate that way, it wouldn’t.
Companies aren’t forced to use the system, and our own government created it - including many Republicans.

It’s more like if they can find an Indian for $79,999 why would they hire an American who’lll expect $80k a year? These folks DO NOT CARE about anything but quarterly results.

Cisco, Adobe, Google all responsible for destroying the middle class in our nation by hiring unqualified Indians via the HaB visa scam. They pay them much less, work them like slaves, and get a far inferior product. Then hand that off to the few remaining American tech experts to fix. Even if they pay the $100K each, they’ll still save money. Only solution is complete disolution of the HaB program and massive penalties for the California tech companies that have drove this engine of doom and crushed the American middle class. You can start by selling your stock in these toilet companies, as have I.
