Everyone keeps saying H-1B is about “filling jobs Americans won’t do.”
So @qaggnews pulled 15+ years of data for me to analyze.
What it actually shows is something very different. 🧵
This program isn’t small.
Over 5 MILLION approvals across nearly 400,000 employers.
That’s not a niche visa program.
That’s a major workforce pipeline.
Now look at WHO is using it.
It’s not random companies.
It’s the same names… over and over:
Amazon
Infosys
Tata
Cognizant
Microsoft
Worse yet, many of the top users aren’t just hiring.
They’re outsourcing firms.
Their business model = supplying labor at scale.
They’ve built their businesses on this anti-American workforce system.
Top states importing their workforce include:
▪️California with almost 1M
▪️(tiny) New Jersey, 500k
▪️Texas, 500k
▪️New York, 425k
Now look at approval rates.
Top companies have obtained between 95% – 99% approval
At that point…
Is it even a filter anymore?
Top companies are quietly gaining a larger share every year.
If this is about filling gaps…
Why do the same companies dominate?
Why approval rates are near perfect?
Why do entire industries rely on it?
How many American workers have been turned away for these same jobs?
At some point, you have to stop calling this a coincidence.
Because systems don’t accidentally produce the same winners, the same approval rates, and the same outcomes year after year.
That’s not a gap being filled.
That’s a market being shaped.
