As every other influencer in Texas is going out to bust Indians allegedly abusing their visas by working in shops, the immigration policy expert Rosemary Jenks said the blame is misplaced, as all the hate is piling upon the people living there, while Congress, which allowed the H-1B visa to become a pathway to residency, should be blamed. Appearing on Steve Bannon's show, Jenks said H-1B visa was meant to be a three-year visa for specialty workers, but Congress decided that H-1B visa holders should stay indefinitely and then bring their families if they could find a company that was ready to sponsor them.
"So these folks have been here on an H-1B visa for decades. That's ridiculous. A temporary visa should be temporary. They should leave after three years. If we did that and if they could not bring their families to the US, they would be a lot less attractive to employers. Because employers would have to train new H-1B every three years and it would be a lot cheaper to hire Americans then," Jenks said, blaming this policy behind the fraud in the program, the overwhelming number of H-1Bs.
