Center for Immigration Studies comments on H-1B visa program and job market
What happened
The Center for Immigration Studies offered commentary to Daily Caller News Foundation regarding immigration policy, specifically addressing the H-1B visa program. A fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies stated that the program encourages companies to hire foreigners over Americans, despite claims that it prevents offshoring. The commentary noted that there were 730,000 H-1B visa workers and over half a million dependents as of January 2025.

Why it matters
The commentary challenges the established view that the H-1B program draws in global talent to fill labor shortages. The Center for Immigration Studies argues that the program is designed to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor, which could influence corporate hiring strategies in specialty fields.
