Who really gets the H-1B visas Elon Musk is fighting about?

Published On Jan 5, 2025, 9:00 AM

The article discusses the contentious debate around the H-1B visa program, particularly in light of recent comments from Elon Musk and other public figures. Critics argue that H-1B workers displace American workers and are often paid less, fueling concerns about wage suppression in the tech sector. Supporters, however, maintain that there is a shortage of skilled American workers, particularly in fast-growing fields like technology. The demand for H-1B visas remains high, especially among tech giants such as Amazon, Google, and Tesla, which relies on these workers to meet staffing needs. Policy experts call for reform to prevent exploitation while maintaining the benefits of the program.
