I disagree with increasing the H1B Visa cap. The truth is, there are plenty of skilled workers in the U.S. who can do these jobs if given the opportunity. Companies often prefer foreign workers because they can pay them less compared to U.S. citizens. That’s why many Americans feel resentment towards the program. If the government increases the cap, it risks flooding the market with cheaper labor, which directly impacts wages for U.S. workers. Instead of expanding the cap, the U.S. should focus on training and reskilling its citizens so they can fill these high-demand positions. This would ensure that opportunities stay within the country, rather than being outsourced to workers from abroad. So, while the demand might be high, I believe increasing the cap would create more harm than good for the domestic workforce.
