‘Time to pause H-1B visas’, US senator Mike Lee makes a pitch after Walmart controversy
US Senator Mike Lee has joined the list of Republican politicians and Donald Trump-appointees rebuffing the H-1B visa program, a nonimmigrant classification famously dominated by Indian nationals.
“Is it time to pause H1B visas” the Republican from Utah wrote on X, alluding to a post referencing the now-infamous claims of a “Walmart scam,” which hinted at a scandal targeting the retailer’s H-1B-holding employees. Initial reports, picking up initially unverified claims from the professional platform Blind, also suggested that vice president tied to the Global Tech’s team was fired for the same reason.
