The Role and Impact of H-1B Visas

H-1B visas provide a pathway for highly skilled immigrants to work in the U.S., benefiting both employers and employees. Immigrants on these visas are often tied to their jobs, facing risks of deportation if they leave, which makes them appealing to employers like Elon Musk. For instance, when Musk purchased Twitter and many employees departed, those on H-1B visas couldn't just quit, highlighting their precarious situation. This dependency allows employers to maintain leverage over skilled immigrants while fueling ongoing debates about the implications of legal immigration on American workers.
