The US Department of Labour released a new video highlighting the misuse of H-1B visas and how the American dream was “stolen" from American citizens at the hands of foreign workers. The video included a mention of India, which accounts for over 70% of H-1B visa workers.

“For generations, we’ve told Americans that if they work hard enough, they can achieve the American dream. But many Americans have had this dream stolen from them. Their jobs were replaced by foreign workers as politicians and bureaucrats allowed companies to abuse the H-1B visa," says the voiceover in the video.

The video showed a pie-chart of H-1B workers in the United States, where India with the highest share of 72% visa-holders, followed by China at 12%. It also highlighted that the median salary of an H-1B visa holder in a computer-related job was $123,000, higher than the median salary of American workers.

“Now, President (Donald) Trump is delivering a new opportunity for young Americans. Through Project Firewall, we are taking action to hold companies accountable for H-1B abuse and ensure they prioritise Americans in the hiring process – recapturing the American Dream for the American People," the video added.

Britain sent their people to India to run things when they colonized it. India sends their people here to run things. Are we being colonized?

Well that is as it should be... H1Bs should be getting paid more than the average in their industry as they should only really be filling the advanced, high-level jobs that are very difficult to fill, where the company is willing to pay that premium yet still can't hire an American.
