706,457 tech workers laid off since 2022.
670,693 H-1B visas issued to Indian nationals in the same period.

The pipeline never slowed down- even as Americans lost their jobs by the hundreds of thousands and were permanently displaced.

NETFLIX H-1B FILINGS: RECORD YEAR

While Netflix preps a 5% cut, its H-1B filings just hit an all-time high.

342 LCA filings in FY2026, and that only covers Oct to June. That's the most of any year on record.

2,831 since FY2015. Top role: software developers.

If this GREEN CARD pause and H1-B investigation turns out to be

midterms election theater

I swear to god there are going to be different outcomes in 2028 presidential elections.

@ShadesOfBlueAn1 Keep liking and sharing. I will vemno your share.

[The Visa Files @visafile]

@CatoInstitute's chart is partial and not comparable. It is inaccurate.

State Department nonimmigrant issuances through December 2025 still show the normal F-1 and H-1B cycle, and FY2025 H-1B was roughly flat versus FY2024.

The “2.7 times” claim does not match the actual visa data.

@SanDiegoKnight This proposal is still in the final rulemaking process. I hope the administration is moving it forward. If not, we must keep the pressure on and ensure it doesn’t get buried or abandoned.

BREAKING: Department of Labor is advancing higher H-1B wages to prevent fraud and protect American workers.

Entry level H-1B wage would climb from $73,000 to $98,000. Other levels would rise 21–24%.

A major blow to the H-1B program. The cheap labor pipeline is finally shutting down.

@SanDiegoKnight @InsiderWire lol. 50k doesnot make sense.

4.3 million green cards have been issued to foreign nationals under employment categories since 1992.

Nearly all recipients have since naturalized as US citizens, started families, and raised children and grandchildren who are now part of the next generation.

Those new generation kids are going to elite universities, taking the top paying jobs, and rising into corporations, government agencies, and the courts.

America has yet to see the full impact of this generational shift. There will be many more "Viveks."

[The Visa Files @visafile]

H-1B and H-4 visa issuances abroad are down 80%, while adjustment of status applications from within the US are up 92%.

[Leading Report @LeadingReport]

H1B and H4 foreign visas are down almost 80% under Trump, per Cato.

@VP, how many times have you personally spoken with @SpeakerJohnson @LeaderJohnThune @ChuckGrassley @Jim_Jordan and @RepMcClintock to advance H-1B legislations?

American public deserves truth. Put the number of calls and meetings on the record.

If you are serious about reform, show us what you’ve done.

Whatever happened yesterday was "nothingburger".

The political theater was so loud, but the real world impact is negligible. 85,000 H-1B petitions will still be approved for every coming years.

Only those who truly understand the issue can see the difference between political optics and meaningful change.

An Open Letter from a Microsoft H1B PERM Desk to the Americans Who Cheered

Dear Americans,

You can stop clapping. We saw the press conference.

Yesterday the Labor Department froze PERM for Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini. No new filings. No pending filings. Your vice president stood up and said no company abused the system more than Microsoft. He cited about 6,000 American jobs cut last year against about 6,300 H-1B approvals and nearly 3,000 green cards. The company answered that 80 percent of those visas were extensions for people already inside. Read that again slowly. Already inside. That was the point.

You should recognize the fact that Microsoft had no intention of allowing temporary labor to stay temporary so Americans would be considered.

Let that sink in.

You think this is a victory. It is just a delay.

We did not lose the jobs. We just lost a form temporarily- 6 months max. The H-1B is still valid. The desk is still ours. The code is still ours. What you took was the stamp that turns a temporary seat into a permanent one for a brief time out.

Annoying. Not fatal. Green cards were already backed up, what's another few months.

And whose fault is the situation? Yours.

You wanted a decent wage. You wanted a house, a school district, a weekend. We took the req at the number finance approved. When your people trained us and then landed on the layoff list, that was not cruelty- it was a different kind of competition... around wages.

That was a market set by a trillion dollar company making massive profits off the country they refuse to hire from.

A market you refused to clear. If an American graduate cannot beat a sponsored job on price, the American graduate is the problem.

You need to suck it up and learn how to eat ramen, sleep several to a room, and fake your credentials if you expect to compete with us.

That is why we are better than you.

Enjoy the small steps. A fee. A frozen filing. A speech. None of it rewrites the org chart.

The next election puts the other party back in the chair. They do not share your panic. They will open the cap, reopen PERM, and call it talent. The flood does not need a new law. It needs the old one enforced the old way. Infinity is not a metaphor. It is the backlog you just paused.

Infinity H1B is one election away and all we need is for your disgust with the system to keep you home so we can finish the job at a pay you refuse to take.

We will still be here in November, not a single H1B has to go home when this is all over. All of us will be employed.

You can have the press release.

We kept the job.

@ChiefEngineerCE I don’t believe the DOL will release the final rule without sustained pressure. we need to keep pushing and stop overlooking this critical weapon.

Wage floor bump ups will help to kill off the bodyshop industry.

This is the sector absolutely FESTOONED with Telugu scammers. 1/2 of your Costco Indians belong in this group.

Americans should pay close attention to how these disgusting freaks operate. Once the threat of their removal becomes imminent, jeets drop the mask and reveal what shameless parasites they are. This creature is incapable of creating value and must gaslight and defraud to survive.

[Izzatologist @IzzatStatus]

Americans need to pay attention here. This person was allowed to work in America under an H-1B visa, which is a temporary work visa and not intended for immigration. She has somehow made her way into our government and now claiming she represents H-1Bs instead of actual citizens.
