  Far-right activist and conservative commentator Laura Loomer has been engaged in a social media spat over H-1B visas.

Laura Loomer, a far-right activist and former congressional candidate, has stirred controversy by claiming that Indian H-1B visa holders are "stealing" jobs from American workers. In a series of social media posts, Loomer criticized the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations temporarily. She accused Indian nationals of taking jobs in the tech industry, particularly highlighting the case of a fired Google employee, Harshita Jhavar, who was let go while on maternity leave. Loomer's comments have been met with backlash, with critics accusing her of xenophobia and misunderstanding the visa program's intent to fill labor gaps in high-skill sectors. Her remarks come at a time when the H-1B visa program is already under scrutiny and reform discussions, with some arguing it's used to undercut American wages, while others defend it as essential for attracting global talent to the U.S.
