More than 30 years ago, Congress created the H-1B visa to bring a limited number of skilled, specialty workers to fill a need in the U.S. economy. The visa was specifically intended to be non-immigrant, for a period of three years maximum. Over time, like many other immigration programs, the H-1B has expanded far beyond its original conception in both numbers and what occupations it covers.

Today, American science and tech graduates can’t find jobs. Companies are laying off thousands of experienced American workers. Artificial Intelligence looms like a wrecking ball over white-collar work. All the while, employers and outsourcing “bodyshops” continue to petition for hundreds of thousands of foreign workers instead of training and hiring American workers. Join experts for a discussion of the current state of the H-1B visa and the reforms it will take to put American workers first.
