There is panic and anger across America about H-1B visas. MAGA Americans sense betrayal. In fact, Americans have been betrayed. What? Yes, public education, or the lack of it, has greatly weakened the native-born American workforce.
Yes, but not by President-elect Trump or his DOGE team.
From the standpoint of the founding fathers, the original intent was for schools to be founded and funded by local communities. The first laws on education were passed in the 1640s in the Massachusetts Bay Colony where the Pilgrims lived. The laws required that parents saw to it that their children knew how to read the Bible and to be able to understand the laws of the land. It was clear that parents were to be the ones who oversaw the education of their children.
The primary system consists of the secular public schools we have today funded by taxpayer money and steeped in socialism and social issues. The original system is what our forefathers intended at the inception of this nation. To pray effectively for America’s education, we must look at the history behind how we got to our present the failed state of education and pray for the restoration of the original system.
Excerpt: Taking The Mountain of Education, August 18,2019: Original Intent for American Education
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the C-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math Olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.

She said the lack of American workers is “like having a crumbling foundation in our house.”
“Currently we are importing foreigners to hold up the foundation walls and plug the leaks,” she said. “In order to go forward we must change our education system, create a culture that respects hard work and productivity, cut government waste/spending/regulations in order to produce a healthy robust economy that lowers inflation and pays higher wages to an American workforce, so that H1-B is no longer needed and can be done away with.”

High-tech companies need engineers, programmers, and technicians to implement and support today’s modern factories. Degrees in Medical Billing and Coding, Photography, Psychology, Sociology, History, English, General Studies, Philosophy, Foreign Languages, and Hospitality & Tourism Management do not equip young Americans to satisfy the employment needs of American companies.
Generally, H-1B visas are temporary. In some cases, H-1B employees discover they want to become citizens.

“The H-1B program was created by Congress in 1990, and there’s no question it needed to be modernized to support our nation’s growing economy,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. “The changes made in today’s final rule will ensure that U.S. employers can hire the highly skilled workers they need to grow and innovate while enhancing the integrity of the program.”
“American businesses rely on the H-1B visa program for the recruitment of highly-skilled talent, benefitting communities across the country,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “These improvements to the program provide employers with greater flexibility to hire global talent, boost our economic competitiveness, and allow highly skilled workers to continue to advance American innovation.”
