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.

This explains decline of USAA.

Agreed, it has been very light on the “super genius” side and heavy on the third-rate, cheap labor side. Resulting in a lot of displaced American workers.

Also, it facilitates the permanent residency of anti-MAGA socialist voters and their impoverished relatives.
