January 2, 2025 at 11:41 PM
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the H1-B visa program, describing it as a tool for replacing American jobs with low-wage labor. He called for significant immigration reform, revisiting his earlier stance on immigration policies, including the diversity visa lottery. Sanders has a history of opposing programs he believes undermine American workers' wages, though he supported the 2013 'Gang of Eight' immigration bill with reservations. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have advocated removing country caps for H1-B visas, further igniting the debate.
