🚨 New Department of Labor data just dropped.
Through FY2026 Q3, employers received certification for 830,710 foreign-worker positions under the H-1B/H-1B1/E-3 LCA program.
And look where they’re going:
• 241,846 Software Developers
• 62,170 Electronics Engineers
• 30,973 Data Scientists
• 28,058 IT Project Managers
• 24,743 Software QA Analysts & Testers
Software developers alone account for 29.1% of every certified position.
Top employers?
Cognizant: 79,121
Qualcomm: 71,203
Amazon: 45,025
Meanwhile, American tech workers keep being told there aren’t enough jobs.
At what point do we stop calling this a “skills shortage” and start asking why hundreds of thousands of foreign-worker positions are being certified while Americans are looking for work?

Our ancestors didn’t inherit a rich country.
They built it with black lung, child labor, shared toilets, and kids dying before five.
Nine-year-olds in the coal mines. Ten hours a day. 50 cents.
Tenements packed with twelve people in a 13-foot room.
62% of working-class deaths were children under five.
Our prosperity was paid for in blood and dust.
Now illegals and their liberal enablers act like they’re entitled to the country those people sacrificed to create.
Infuriating doesn’t even cover it.
Great tool to see how pervasive the H-1B problem is in your backyard. Check your district. UT-03 has 8,802 H-1B filings FY2015-2026. See the district: https://t.co/FsoY1fyNM1 @repmikekennedy
We went viral for our H-1B tool.
So I went deeper. We have now mapped every H-1B filing in America to the congressional district it landed in.
6.9 million filings. 436 districts. FY2015 to today.
Type in your ZIP and see your own.

I’m the mother of two Gen Z children. My oldest graduated Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Business and Computer Science and CANNOT find a job. Luckily she attended university on a full academic scholarship. So at least she’s not in debt.
She’s not the only one of her colleagues struggling. This is the norm. She’s working this summer by coaching others in tennis because she was also a college tennis player on a fantastic team. But she would prefer to be working professionally.
We need to end the foreign visa work programs, like H-1B, that have shut out Gen Z graduates of job opportunities in exchange for foreign cheap labor.
THIS IS LAZY messaging and will turn away Gen Z from the GOP. Wake up!
