J.D. Vance criticizes H1B visa program: 'The program is completely broken'

In his statement to "Real Voice of America", Vance made evaluations about the "H1B" visa, a temporary work visa that allows employers in the USA to employ foreign professionals in areas requiring expertise.

Stating that the type of visa in question is "completely abused" not only by technology companies, but also by accounting firms and malicious individuals, Vance said: "So the point is, if you say 'I want to bring a genius to the USA.' If you say so, this is a topic that can be discussed. "But if you replace an American accountant who makes $60,000 a year with an accountant who makes $45,000 a year, you're not using this program to bring in a genius." he said.

Vance emphasized that this "means defrauding the American people" and stated that people were dissatisfied with this issue.

Reminding that they introduced a certain application fee for the H1B visa, Vance reminded that their aim is to use this fee as a kind of filter mechanism to ensure that people actually use the program for its intended purpose.

"My personal opinion is that the H1B program is completely broken and I would support eliminating the program altogether. But as long as the program continues to exist, what we need to do is protect America and American workers," Vance said. made his assessment.
