U.S. Defends Firm That Secured 5,189 H-1B Visas Before Laying Off 16,000 American Workers
A U.S. company that secured 5,189 H-1B visas is under scrutiny after laying off 16,000 American workers. The move sparked criticism over misuse of the visa program, which was designed to fill labor shortages with skilled foreign talent, not replace domestic jobs. U.S. officials defended the company’s actions, arguing compliance with program rules, but the controversy has reignited debate over H-1B reforms and the balance between protecting American workers and meeting industry labor demands.
