“This population takes jobs from Americans — and it also helps to export many additional jobs. So the 800,000 H-1Bs likely represent a loss of two million well-paid professional jobs, nearly all of which have gone to Indian H-1B workers. This hidden economy is dubbed the U.S.-India Outsourcing Economy.”
USCIS Agency Rejects More H-1B Visa Workers

Agency officials have reduced the approval rate for foreign H-1B outsourcing workers, so helping American graduates who are being squeezed by the one-two punch of 800,000 H-1B visa workers and Indian discrimination.
“With these denials, it’s great news because it opens up jobs for citizens [and] increases the wage rate,” said Kevin Lynn, founder of Progressives for Immigration Reform. The cut also “reduces the population density [and housing prices] in these areas that have brought in a huge influx of cheaper foreign workers in large numbers,” he told Breitbart News.
“There were many American workers who were qualified and doing these jobs until they were displaced by these H-1B visa workers,” he added.
But business leaders — including a former official in President Barack Obama’s administration — are denouncing the glimmer of good news for millions of Americans whose careers are threatened by the government’s many visa-worker programs.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency “has raised the legal standard they use to decide whether enough evidence has been presented with [H-1B] petitions to approve them, without any legal authority to do so and without any notice to the public,” William Stock, of Klasko Immigration Law Partners, told Forbes.
Roughly 12 percent of requests for H-1B visas renewals were rejected by the government in 2019, according to a Forbes-published analysis of government data.
That modest rejection rate is a gain for American professionals because the H-1B workers who are denied renewals are forced to go home — unless their company quickly wins another visa for them, perhaps the L-1 or B1 categories.
The rejection rate has grown from just five percent in 2017 to 12 percent in 2019. That means 88 percent of renewals were approved in 2019, slightly down from the 95 percent approval rate in 2017.
