U.S. tech firms — Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apple — were the top 10 employers of H-1B recipients in 2024.

  • Amazon workers bagged the highest number of H-1B visas every year between 2020 and 2024.
  • U.S. companies have grown exponentially and need more IT talent.
  • Indian IT firms have scaled back H-1B filings amid increased scrutiny.

I'm going to say doubt on there actually being an H-1B crackdown...

But if Trump were to decide to do one, monkeys and typewriters because that's something I'd actually support.

I'm waiting to see how he'd fuck it up and make it worse though.
