There has been a noticeable rise in dislike toward the H-1B visa program in the United States, especially in light of the recent implementation of a $100k application fee for H-1B visa.
This new policy has created even more discussions and debates across social media about the future and fairness of the H-1B system.
A recent social media post has sparked widespread discussion on the growing hostility toward H1-B visa holders in the US.
The author of the post, a frustrated worker and immigrant, openly questions the source of the resentment aimed at H1-B professionals, who come to the US to contribute their skills and expertise to various industries.
What does the post explain?
The post reads, “Would you really be happy if all H1-B workers left the US? Does this hatred reflect your own internal emptiness?
Take a moment and think what’s the source of this hatred? Do you truly believe that H1-B workers have made zero contributions to the development of the US?
It continued,, “Why can’t we live and let live? Do a few scammers justify hatred toward the entire H1-B community? Why can’t we find a middle ground to address the issue? Why is hate always seen as the solution? Why can’t we coexist peacefully? H1-B workers came to the US legally why can’t we live in peace? I have no issues leaving US, but why the hate? What did H1-B folks do to deserve such levels of hatred?.”
‘Deport them’
Netizens posted their opinion on the post. A user noted, “At least just hate the scammers. Deport them. Nobody likes scammers.”
“There’s nothing like scammers on H-1B Visa. There could be some abusers, but not scammers. The scammers of different origins, ideally operate from their own countries, and even if they’re here, they aren’t on H-1B, instead they must be illegal immigrants,” added another.
“As a Senior Staff SWE, I’m stuck in my home country because I lost the H-1B lottery even though I’m more qualified than those L3-L6 who pretend to be a high skill worker. If I were that low of a level, I’d at least have the dignity to not apply. I won’t bring a useless H-4 EAD wife either!,” claimed a user.
