A wave of investigations has hit the H-1B visa program, with the U.S. Department of Labor spearheading over 175 probes into suspected violations. The goal is to ensure the program, crucial for bringing in foreign talent for tech and engineering jobs, is not abused to the disadvantage of American workers. The department has initiated a public awareness campaign to draw attention to these issues, asserting that the “American Dream has been stolen” from younger workers due to such alleged abuses. This intensified scrutiny reflects a commitment to holding companies accountable and reinforcing the priority of domestic job security.
