Amidst the increasing talk about possible reform of the H-1B guest worker program, lobbyists for the tech industry’s corporate titans are again ramping up their efforts in the media to try and convince the public that the H-1B program enables the world’s “best and brightest” to come to the United States to work STEM jobs that Americans are unable to perform.
Big Tech’s claim that it depends on foreign guest workers has no basis in fact. No independent research (meaning that which is not paid for or subsidized by tech industry money) has ever found a shortage of skilled Americans able to fill STEM jobs, and the routine practice of having Americans already working STEM jobs train their foreign replacements before being laid-off has started to get widespread attention in major media outlets.
