Every one is entitled have there viewpoint, and as you can see I have my own. At work I have seen friends laid off and couple months later there role filled with a H1B. In the early 2000s at one company saw whole department laid off and then the next we all of the people replaced with HCL vendors.

It is personal. I work in FAANG when Trump paused H-1Bs during COVID I watched U.S. college grads get hired instead. A few years later, most have been promoted, some multiple times. Turns out giving Americans a shot works just fine. Interesting read here: futurism.com/the-byte/ber...

Actually, this is what it’s about. Meta must face a lawsuit alleging it preferred cheaper foreign workers over qualified Americans.
📊 15% of Meta’s U.S. workforce is on H-1Bs vs ~0.5% nationwide.
💰 Meta already paid $14.25M in 2021 for reserving jobs for visa holders & excluding U.S. workers.

Been working in FAANG for years. I dont think trump cares but with the US laying off 262k tech workers in 2023, 95k+ in 2024, and thousands more in 2025 this is reaching a boiling point.

This policy is aimed squarely at Big Tech and outsourcing firms that take the majority of the 85K H-1B visas each year. They’ve turned a program meant to fill true shortages into a bulk hiring pipeline — and that’s what needs to be fixed first.

President Trump just 'closed' the last legal way to migrate to US for work by making H-1B visa prohibitively expensive. This is a major blow for US tech industry that will have to move R&D overseas while US become the assembly line for low educated, low paid

@crampell If ‘innovation’ dies because we stop handing Big Tech 365k H-1Bs a year while 350k+ U.S. tech workers sit jobless, maybe it wasn’t innovation holding us up. Time to rehire Americans and grads before calling the funeral for U.S. science.

The U.S. laid off 262k tech workers in 2023, 95k+ in 2024, and thousands more in 2025 — plus CS grads are struggling to get hired. This isn’t about shutting out talent, it’s about rehiring Americans and recent grads first.

@weel.bsky.social Prevailing wage rules didn’t stop Meta from facing a class action for allegedly favoring H-1Bs over Americans, or Cognizant from being found liable for benching U.S. workers to keep visa holders staffed. The system’s been gamed for years — that’s the handout.

Keeping jobs here is ideal — but that’s why H-1B reform has to go hand-in-hand with L-1/L-2 reform. Right now Big Tech just parks workers in offshore centers, then brings them over on L-1s after a year. Close that loophole and we keep both the jobs and the tax revenue. www.microsoft.com/en-in/msidc

@chadbourn.bsky.social The H1B 85k cap sounds like it’s all rare specialists, but most go to Big Tech and outsourcing firms for routine IT roles — not moonshot research. 365k H-1B filings in 2024 show how the program’s been used for bulk hiring, not just critical shortages.

Funny — 350k+ U.S. tech workers laid off since 2023 might feel a little 'taken from.' H-1Bs are supposed to supplement the workforce!
