Donald Trump’s ally Laura Loomer who is against American jobs going to immigrants, said the administration should restrict H-1B visas — after the US Monday announced bans on travel agents from India who are allegedly facilitating illegal migration.H-1B, the program that allows US companies to hire skilled employees from foreign countries, has again become a flashpoint as the US immigration revealed that they selected 120,141 H-1B visa applications for the fiscal year 2026.H-1B registrations experience a remarkable decline this time owing to an increased fee, and the figure 120,141 is the lowest since 2021. But MAGA activists, US tech workers are pushing for reduction/abolition of the programs. They say the continuation of programs that hire immigrants goes against Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration and his promise of America First.The US administration imposed visa restrictions on travel agencies, their owners, executives and senior officials if these agencies have any link with illegal immigration. A US Department of State notification said its diplomatic and consular staff in India are working to identify and hold the individuals who are involved in promoting unauthorised migration to the US accountable.In April this year, the US Embassy in India canceled 2,000 visa appointments due to fraud concerns. The latest move is an expansion of its probe into travel agents who are misusing the system. The move was lauded by many MAGA activists who asked for a similar crackdown on H-1B visa programs. The H-1B program operates under an annual cap of 65,000 new visas. However, an additional 20,000 petitions are exempt from this limit for applicants who hold a U.S. master’s degree or higher.That the department has already selected 120,141 H-1Bs for the next financial year has sparked concern that companies have already identified people who will be fired to accommodate this people in the US workforce as new jobs are not being created.
