‘Completely Broken’: JD Vance Says He Would Support Abolishing H-1B Visa Programme
Vance said the visa system lets companies replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor, while a court again blocked Trump’s $100,000 fee.
- On Thursday, United States Vice President JD Vance branded the H-1B visa program "completely broken," indicating he would support its total abolition to prevent corporations from replacing American workers with cheaper international staff.
- The $100,000 fee requirement emerged from conversations between Vance, President Donald Trump, and adviser Stephen Miller after they concluded Congress would not reform the program, with the administration extending the policy through September 21, 2027.
- Vance criticized firms for "defrauding" the American people, citing an example where an accountant earning $45,000 replaces an American making $60,000. "That's you destroying American jobs and defrauding the American people," he said.
- On Thursday, a federal judge blocked the $100,000 fee after finding the administration failed to follow mandatory rulemaking protocols, marking the second time in four months a court has struck down the policy.
- The administration is evaluating whether sponsoring firms have executed layoffs affecting domestic workers, though Vance maintains these reforms may not fully address the program's systemic flaws and reiterates support for elimination.
