'End H-1B visa now': Nikki Haley's son is back with 'America for Americans' slogan, demands a stop to legal immigration

Indian-origin Republican leader Nikki Haley's son Nalin Haley, who often makes waves by his anti-immigration stance, has been back with his new rant against H-1Bs. "Don’t let anyone tell you illegal and legal immigration have nothing to do with the affordability crisis. There’s a direct correlation. We need to deport illegals, deport those who hate America, end legal immigration, and end the H-1B visa now!" Haley said, pitching for 'America for Americans' -- only to be told that he is an anchor child.What triggered his latest outrage was a report from Insider Wire that claimed that states with more ICE deportations are seeing the largest rent decreases. This is what the Department of Homeland Security has recently claimed. The implication is that migrants push rents up and after they are deported, the rent is getting stabilized.The rant came as the Department of Labor stepped up its crackdown on H-1B abuse and Vice President JD Vance also spoke against foreign workers taking the jobs of Americans.“Look, man, we looked at the fraud in the system and we said, you know, one, Congress is not going to pass a law changing this. There just isn’t the political will to do it. So what are the things that we can do administratively to ensure that if a tech company is going to try to get an H-1B visa, it’s an actual genius. It’s a person that is going to significantly enrich the tech ecosystem or the American economy. You know, you’re not just replacing one accountant who makes $60,000 with a lower-wage foreign accountant who makes $45,000 a year. That is not what the programme exists for," Vance recently said as the administration announced that they would check if US companies petitioning for H-1Bs fired Americans to make place for foreigners."And so we came up with this idea to impose a $100,000 fee. We’re also looking at various ways of preventing companies that use H-1B visas from laying off a bunch of American workers. You’ll have a company that applies for an H-1B and they’ll say, oh, we’re desperate for workers. We can’t find the workers. And then you go and look at their history and they’ve laid off 5,000 people. Well, that’s ridiculous," Vance said."If you’re laying off American workers, you shouldn’t be going to the market searching for foreign workers to replace them. So we’re doing a lot within the confines, of course, of what we’re allowed to do legally. We’ve gotten sued on some of this stuff, but I think fundamentally we’re on the right on both the law and the policy. The H-1B should not exist to replace American workers with low-wage foreigners. It should exist to enrich the American economy. And that’s exactly what we’re trying to make sure it does," Vance said.You use AI every day. Now get your AI Quotient. Take the AIQ test.
