Vt., said corporations abuse the H-1B visa program as a way to get richer and should recruit American workers first.
The article from WRAL News discusses a claim made by Senator Bernie Sanders during a Democratic presidential debate, where he stated that H-1B visa holders are being hired for jobs like dog trainers and massage therapists, which he argued should be filled by American workers. Fact-checking by WRAL revealed that while the H-1B visa program is intended for highly skilled workers in specialty occupations, there have been instances where the visa has been used for less specialized roles. However, these cases are exceptions rather than the norm. The article explains that the H-1B visa requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a specific field, and roles like dog training or massage therapy typically do not meet these criteria unless they involve advanced, specialized training or education. The piece also notes that misuse of the visa program has been criticized, but overall, the majority of H-1B visas are granted for tech and other high-skill jobs.
