H1B is the most abused visa type of them all, and evidently, India is the biggest abuser of H1B visa. India ruined it for every country.
I have worked in the IT industry for over 36 years, and in that time, I have seen patterns repeat themselves. i have been in a position where i had to train many H1B IT workers. they knew nothing. Year after year, brilliant young Americans — including fresh graduates from some of the best universities in the country (that includes my three children) — come out with degrees, energy, and ambition, only to find themselves struggling to secure jobs in the very fields they trained for. The reason is simple but troubling: companies have leaned too heavily on the H1B visa system, not out of necessity, but because it gave them access to cheaper labor.
I am not a big fan of the current administration and have disagreed with many of its policies. However, I strongly support this particular decision President Trump has just signed — requiring employers to pay $100,000 per year for each H1B visa. This measure places real accountability on corporations and forces them to rethink whether they are truly in need of outside talent or simply exploiting a loophole at the expense of American graduates.
For too long, capable young professionals here have been sidelined while jobs were outsourced or filled through cheaper hires. By raising the cost of H1B visas, this policy helps level the playing field and pushes companies to prioritize local talent first. It doesn’t eliminate the program, but it ensures it’s used responsibly — for specialized needs, not just as a cost-cutting shortcut.
