"The main function of the H-1B visa program and other guest worker initiatives is not to hire 'the best and the brightest,' but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad," Sanders said, pointing to the fact that corporations have laid off American workers even as they've hired foreign workers through the H-1B system. "The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make."
Sanders called for a series of reforms to the system, including increasing guest worker fees for large corporations, raising the minimum wage for guest workers, and allowing them to easily switch jobs. He argued that the current H-1B system is more beneficial for corporations than for workers, highlighting the need for regulatory changes.
