Reply to comment by FoggyBottom4u in Tech Layoffs Set the Clock Ticking for Foreign Workers by buncley

From where do you base this wide spread abuse? Obama tightened a lot of these policies. H1B Visas are hard to get, most tech companies prefer to find US citizens who can fill these roles, and for the last decade or so prefer to have fewer people on visas as they can. US citizens are much more likely to get a job if they can be close to enough. The issue is they aren’t a whole lot of qualified workers available visas or not.

It’s actually very easy to hire an H1B worker.

That’s incorrect - it’s actually easier to hire someone who doesn’t require engaging a length, expensive, and frequent process with uscis
