87% Informative

Critics of H-1B visa program worry that these workers are displacing Americans by providing cheaper labor.

Supporters say there are simply not enough US workers to fill the demand needed in these growing industries.

Amazon , Cognizant, Infosys , TCS , IBM , and IBM are the largest sponsors of H1B visas.

Economic Policy Institute research shows tech companies continue to hire H-1B workers in large numbers while shrinking their US workforces.

EPI: Some tech companies are turning to cheaper foreign workers rather than hiring US workers.

Some companies, often in the tech field, are taking advantage of how the program level-sets wages to pay less than what a US worker would make.
