‘I am an immigrant’: Trump aide Harmeet K Dhillon explains why she is against H-1B

Indian-American lawyer and the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the US. Department of Justice Harmeet K Dhillon said she is an immigrant and came to the US on a visa but the idea that the government is funding institutions that disproportionately hire H-1B visa and other legal immigrant visa categories when there are Americans who could fill those jobs is problematic. Dhillon said this on Christopher Rufo’s podcast amid a growing resistance towards the H-1B visa program that allows companies to hire Indians and Chinese and other skilled professionals from foreign countries.

Dhillon is quite active on social media and every time an H-1B abuse is flagged, she responds — promising action or seeking more details.
