What needs to change: Real legislative reform, reduction of H-1B quota to 25K/year, ending cap-free H-1B, ending F1-OPT to H-1B conversion , and other cross-visa loopholes to restore the program's original intent.

In the meantime, #H1BVisa must be completely paused for 3 years!

The H-1B system has clearly shifted from being a global top-talent magnet into a high-volume labor arbitrage pipeline that directly impacts regional job markets and wages in the Tech Sector.

Immediate action needed to stem the damage and restore American Tech Base!

New Frontier: North Carolina!

There is some truth in North Indian bros boasting about North Carolina being "their area" like Andhra guys took over Texas! The data proves they are not faffing!

North Carolina's share grew 5x from 1.2% (1990) to 6.1% (2025), centered in RTP and Charlotte.

Texas Takeover: California's share in H-1B Visas issued dropped from 22% in 2000 to 16% in 2025.

Meanwhile, Texas surged from 6% in 1990 to top spot at 21% in 2025, driven by fraud Immigration mills operating as "Body Shops".

#EndH1B

Talent to Treasury: The Modi-RSS regime in India has depended on remittances sent back by migrant workers abroad to shore up their collapsing economy!

H-1B volume closely tracks the explosive growth of USD remittances to India, crossing $120 Billion in 2025!

#EndH1B

Mass Volume vs. Elite Filter: While "extraordinary ability" (EB/O) visas still remain low, mass-volume H-1B approvals have surged— prioritizing volume over specialized talent!

It is Labor arbitrage plain & simple! Undercutting American workers by getting low priced workers.

#EndH1B

This next chart shows that Indian scammer groups are well prepared to ride through Temporary roadblocks in the #H1B pipeline!

When H-1B caps or delays hit administrative roadblocks, alternative pathways like L-1 transfers and EB/O categories spike (355k in 2021) to maintain labor flow!

H-4 EAD rule bought in by Obama in 2015 fundamentally changed the #H1B program.

By granting work permits to spouses, H-1B evolved into a dual-income household pipeline, doubling work authorizations and doubling the damage caused to US Tech Workers!

#EndH1B

#1 The Great Divergence: In 1990, India bagged ~1500 #H1B visas - <15% of the total!

By 2025 however, the Indian share of the #H1BVisa pie reached a staggering 75%, leaving just 25% for the rest of the world combined!

H-1B is no longer a global talent pool getting America the "Best of the Best"!

Armed with data from U.S. Federal disclosures, and research from agencies like US DOL, USCIS, World Bank, and Reserve Bank of India, I look into how H-1B program has been hijacked by scammers operating from India.

AWS & CF are great option for infrastructure - but not for a Social Platform like #TalkShop.

I have done the math - Upto 10K users, using AWS is a great way to serve our target market!

Beyond that, it is cheaper to setup our own Dedicated server clusters! But we will get there!

So freshies - STOP wasting your time with all these AI chatbots and learn stuff the old fashioned way - by actually writing code, making mistakes & correcting them yourself. THAT is how you learn!

Once you have a grip on fundamentals, then sure, use AI for grunt work!
