🇺🇸 H-1B VISA CRACKDOWN BACKFIRES: BIG TECH HIRED 32,000 WORKERS IN INDIA INSTEAD OF AMERICANS As U.S. H-1B visa rules tightened this year with higher fees and wage requirements, Big Tech responded predictably: they hired offshore instead. Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, and Google pushed their combined India workforce to 214,000, the fastest growth in three years. That's 32,000+ new hires that could have gone to Americans. These aren't call center jobs. They're AI, machine learning, cloud engineering, data science, and cybersecurity roles. The exact "strategic" positions policymakers claim we need to protect. The irony is brutal: visa curbs designed to prioritize American workers just made it cheaper and easier for corporations to offshore the same jobs remotely. No visa required. No wage floor. No American hired. This is the loophole nobody closed. You can restrict who comes here to work. You can't restrict who works from there. Until policy addresses corporate offshoring directly, companies will keep doing the math and choosing the cheaper option overseas. American workers keep losing. Quietly. Legally. And nobody in Washington seems to notice. Source: Moneycontrol, MSN
