[Breitbart] Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) raised attention to how the H-1B visa program is being abused not only by some applicants, but by large corporations using the program in order to "displace the American worker."While speaking with host Matthew Boyle on Breitbart News Saturday, Moore said he thinks most people don’t understand the levels at which the H-1B visa program is being abused. Moore cited an example of how the CEO of Xbox had "laid off 3200 employees" and then "applied for thousands of H-1B visas."
"The H-1B visa program is being abused at levels I don’t think most understand. Not only being abused by the people who are applying through H-1B, but in particular specifically these large corporations who are using the H-1B visa program to displace the American worker," Moore said.
"This isn’t just in skilled labor, this is also in white collar jobs. You can look up these companies that are applying for H-1B visa, and many times it could be for computer programmers, accountants, you name it. And, the only difference in between the computer programmer or accountant that they got from India and the one who has been educated here in the United States, is the amount of money that they’re willing to pay."
