US Senator Eric Schmitt has intensified his criticism of America’s employment-based visa system, alleging that programmes such as H-1B, L-1, F-1 and Optional Practical Training (OPT) are hurting American workers and encouraging what he called a global “Visa Cartel”.
In a series of posts on X, Schmitt claimed that large technology companies were laying off US workers while continuing to hire foreign workers through H-1B visas for similar jobs.
