Two top American senators, Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin, have accused Amazon, Google, Meta, Apple and other corporate giants of laying off U.S. workers while aggressively pursuing thousands of new hires through the H-1B visa program.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ranking Member Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) announced on Sept. 25 that they have launched a new inquiry into some of the country’s most powerful employers, charging that they are sidelining American workers while expanding their reliance on foreign labour through the H-1B visa system.
