H-1B visa abuse

H-1B visa abuse occurs when employers exploit the program meant to bring skilled foreign workers into the U.S. by underpaying employees, misrepresenting job roles, or replacing qualified American workers to cut costs. Such practices undermine the program’s purpose of fostering innovation and job creation, while disadvantaging domestic workers and potentially violating legal standards. Addressing abuse involves stricter enforcement, accurate job classification, and ensuring fair wages to maintain the program's integrity and protect both workers and the U.S. labor market.
