‘Have ordinary skills but can be easily controlled’: Indian-origin US professor on H-1B visa workers

Indian-origin Howard University professor Ronil Hira recently explained a key reason why many US companies overwhelmingly prefer hiring H-1B visa workers.

According to Hira, it is a “no-brainer” for corporations to opt for H-1B employees because while they have “ordinary skills”, that are widely available in the US job market, they are still favoured due to economic advantages, such as legally being underpaid as compared to American workers.
