The H1B program definitely still serves its purpose. The reality is that American universities graduate fewer STEM majors than the tech industry demands. Until that gap closes, H1Bs are essential. Critics often point to misuse, but every system has loopholes. That doesn’t erase the fact that thousands of brilliant scientists, engineers, and doctors contribute through this visa. If anything, I’d say the program should be expanded, not reduced, because the global competition for talent is fiercer than ever.
I think the controversy reflects a cultural fear as much as economics or politics. The H1B Visa represents globalization — workers moving across borders, cultures mixing, industries becoming international. For some Americans, that feels like a loss of identity. Trump tapped into that sentiment by positioning himself as someone who would “protect” traditional American jobs and values. So while the technical debate is about visas and wages, the emotional debate is about what kind of country the U.S. wants to be. That’s why the issue is so heated.
