It’s really a mix of both. The controversy wouldn’t exist if there weren’t economic concerns, but the way it’s amplified is definitely political. Politicians use the H1B Visa as a symbol in larger debates about globalization, immigration, and national identity. If it were purely economic, reforms would focus on fixing loopholes and enforcing wage protections. Instead, what we see are sweeping proclamations and dramatic fee hikes, which are more about sending a political message than solving real problems.
