‘H-1B is a scam’: Congressman Brandon Gill sparks firestorm, demands Visa program be axed
A Republican lawmaker from Texas has called for ending the H-1B visa programme after a viral video showed an Indian worker at a 7-Eleven store claiming to be on the visa. Congressman Brandon Gill reacted strongly to the clip, writing, “H-1B is a scam and should be abolished.”
Viral video sparks debate
The controversy began when YouTuber Tyler Oliveira shared a video from a 7-Eleven store in Texas. In the video, he speaks to an employee who says he is from Andhra Pradesh in India and is in the United States on an H-1B visa, which is meant for skilled workers.
