Trump’s H-1B Visa Change: What to Know
The H-1B visa program has helped fill gaps in critical sectors like health care and technology, though it has faced criticism that it adversely affects American workers.
The H-1B visa is one of several temporary worker visa categories, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It is also one of the most contentious.
Critics, notably labor groups, have long argued that it leads to competition between domestic and foreign workers, allowing companies to save money by paying foreigners less.
However, proponents say the program is necessary to make up for shortages of qualified domestic applicants—particularly those with advanced technical degrees—in critical fields.
“There’s always been a reasonable consensus that highly skilled immigration is good for the United States,”
CFR trade and immigration expert Edward Alden said, highlighting the long-standing bipartisan support for programs like H-1B.
