The H1-B program is back in the news. President Trump supports it, but many Americans do not. The President said we don’t have the talent in this country for some of the skilled factory jobs. Will Cain jumped on that during his show.
Will Cain reported that “70% of H-1B visa holders come from India, and another 10-15% from China, with 80% of H-1B approvals are for entry and junio-level jobs!”
“That’s a little hard to stomach when we hear we’re not talented or skilled enough, when you consider most are entry-or-junior level.”
“And it’s definitely to the benefit of corporations, tech companies – that can hire foreign workers…trust me on this…cheaper than American workers.”
The Trump Labor Dept. is now launching nearly 200 investigations into H-1B abuse.

The manufacturing jobs have not returned, but all the investments President Trump has lured to the US will eventually restore manufacturing jobs. Of course, all this depends on winning the war with our own American Left.
President Trump told Laura Ingraham last night that we don’t have the skilled labor for factories which brought a great deal of backlash. However, Dirty Jobs creator Mike Lowe agrees with the President. Do you agree that we couldn’t quickly train people to do these jobs?
“On a broad level, we have to understand what we did to incite this. We took shop class out of high school.
“…And what we did when we took it out was not just shortchange that cohort of kids who might have seen something in the vocational world that made sense to their brain.
“What we did was we removed those jobs from sight for everybody.”
If Trump does manage to bring manufacturing back to America, he’s going to run into another problem, says “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe: a lack of skilled labor in those trades.

We have more than enough people working from home. We need hard working skilled trade workers.
I completed a Machinist Apprenticeship at a US Navy undersea warfare laboratory during the 1970’s. Later in my career (2000) I was asked to restart the Apprentice Program and manage it, which I did up until I retired in 2007. What I found was that virtually 90% of applicants could not attain test scores that would enable them to complete… Read more »
Most engineering degree graduates don’t have the required knowledge to complete entry level engineering jobs. Those on-line degrees are mostly worthless having produced a generation of academics with no hands-on skills whatsoever, unless they find ‘an app for that’.
During the last 20 years of my 33 year Navy civilian career I worked as a production tooling engineer and design engineer/project manager responsible for submarine trainer development. I also recruited engineering grads at several northwest universities. Virtually every engineer I interviewed and all that I hired were fully capable of performing the work they were later assigned to do… Read more »
Mike Rowe nailed it. But the real boogie man is the left and their long march to destroy America. In the 70’s the EPA was born. In the following decades, virtually all of our manufacturing was forced overseas. Not for clean air – the cleanest factories in the world were closed as ‘not clean enough.’ This scam created more pollution… Read more »
Ingraham is just another Faux News trouble maker, trying to backhandedly attack Trump by trapping him into some statements. The US needs help with some precision manufacturing, temporarily. Bessent explained it well. Ingraham wants a headline, not the details. I knew she was a bad apple for sure when she mocked Trump to his face for challenging the 2020 election.… Read more »
Most Americans don’t know H-1B’s are allowed to hold engineering jobs on US CONUS military bases. The Pentagon has allowed this policy even during Trump’s first term. These jobs were once allowed only to extremely vetted US citizens. How long does the concept of National Security have any meaning when non-citizens have equal access to sensitive jobs? How long can… Read more »
The military industry is not pro-USA, it is pro-war.
When the United States shares its science and technology with other countries, it has already relinquished the inherent technological competitiveness of the derivative products derived from those technologies. Consequently, capital will always choose to produce the same products using cheaper workers. Factory owners want their products to be sold worldwide, and the final price of products manufactured in the US… Read more »
In China, an average worker works 12 hours a day, 29 days a month, and earns approximately $750. In India, workers work about 9 hours a day, 23 days a month, and earn around $300. Meanwhile, a unique phenomenon in China is that factories can transfer risk through labor agencies, and ordinary workers must contribute a portion of their wages… Read more »
Regarding your use of the word exploitation of US workers – life is not heaven – a better word is utilize. The treatment of US workers is markedly better than Chinese or Indian workers. When a worker can buy the house and car it wants, move to any town it wants, go to whatever church it wants, vote for whatever… Read more »
