US Vice President JD Vance has defended the Trump administration’s decision to overhaul the H-1B visa programme, saying it is being misused to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labour.

“If you look at the H-1B visa, what it’s supposed to be is that you have a super genius who’s studying at an American university and who’s working at a great company. You want that super genius to stay in the United States of America and not go somewhere else. What it’s actually used to do is hire an accountant at a 50 per cent discount for an American citizen,” he said.

Amen, brother Vance. That is exactly what's been happening.

Undercut our wages? They have a monopoly on the whole technology recruiting system. And they don’t hire Americans.
