In a wide range of occupations, from highly skilled, in-demand fields like technology and engineering to non-technical fields like accounting, legal services, itching, and health, there is a growing sense of frustration among American workers who feel forced to compete with H1B visa holders. The aforementioned message is being sent to illustrate how a recent tweet ignited a discussion after media reports on the effect of H1B visa holders on job availability despite significant educational investments made by American graduates.
 
"They also have to compete with H1B visa workers," he writes in his post. not limited to engineering and IT. Under the H1B umbrella include accounting, legal services, education, and health care. He expressed the rising dissatisfaction with the state-sponsored MS and PhD graduates from India, asking why someone would spend $100,000 on a bachelor's degree just to have to compete with them.
 
H1B visas have historically been linked to highly specialized professions like engineering and information technology, but new trends indicate that they are becoming more common in other disciplines as well. The H1-B program safeguards the employment by united states corporations of foreign workers in specialist vocations and has increasingly applied to non-tech jobs. For instance, a growing number of highly educated foreign workers, mostly from India, who are supported by the state are displacing American professionals.
 

The conflict between H1B holders and American workers has spurred a broader conversation about how the labor market should balance the requirements of companies looking to hire foreign workers with local talent. While detractors claim the H1B program unfairly burdens American workers and lowers wages, supporters claim it fills important gaps when there is a known scarcity of qualified workers. The topic is not going to go away anytime soon since the majority of emphasis in talks about the future of the American workforce continues to be focused on immigration policy reform and H1B visa regulations.
