There is increasing frustration among U.S. workers who believe they are being forced to compete with H1B visa believe they are being forced to compete with H1B visa holders in a wide range of occupations, which span highly skilled, in-demand areas in technology and engineering through non-technical fields such as accounting, legal services, itching, and health.

For example, American professionals complain of being squeezed out by a wave of highly educated, state-sponsored workers from abroad-primarily from India.
The tension between the U.S. workers and H1B holders has sparked a wider discussion on how the job market should balance domestic talent with the needs of employers seeking specialized skills from abroad.
Proponents argue that the H1B program fills critical gaps, where there are recognized shortages of skilled workers, while critics contend it puts undue pressure on American workers and drives down wages.
The debate is unlikely to cool anytime soon, as reforming immigration policy and rules concerning H1B visas continue to vie for the lion’s share of attention in discussions of the future U.S. workforce.
