Oracle, the software company headquartered in Austin, Texas, has filed thousands of petitions for H-1B visas in the past two fiscal years, even as it lays off thousands of American workers as part of a broader organizational shift. Federal data shows Oracle filed for 2,690 H-1B visas in fiscal year 2025 and 436 so far in fiscal year 2026, totaling over 3,100 visa requests.

US employees don't pay attention to H1Bs until they get replaced by 'em
All you MAGA Trumpsters got it good.

I've been in this biz for a very long time and have seen how corporate America has wrecked the workforce. When the Dot.com hysteria was beginning I watched firsthand how both the established corps and startups would hire every warm body they could find trying to pump out something to sell just to get the investment firms to give them crazy money. That's when I first started seeing an influx of H1B's. In most cases it wasn't a pretty sight as the media liked to portray. Everyone worked like crazy and it was long hours and high risk and for the vast majority it never paid off - except to a limited few that worked the financial side.
The point is that you can't blame the H1Bs. Maybe you didn't invite them here but someone did and those people used them as much as they used the rest of us. I witnessed the higher stress levels they were - and maybe still are - under by being in a foreign place having to deal with people who maybe didn't want them here or see them as colleagues and who could be cut and sent back home at a moments notice.
Remember, the current corporatocracy is crushing us all. America hasn't always been like this and it doesn't have to be this way. Adjust your mindset and focus on the real problems - or keep going down this worsening hole.
IMO, the reason you post here is because more people will see it and we become more aware of what is and isn't going on. Sending it just to your political representative only guarantees that the info will never see the light of day and won't be acted upon unless there's a huge amount of cash attached to it as a 'contribution'. At least in the public light the corruption we all read about cannot be easily hidden even if it's not acted upon.
Keep posting what you see people and see where it goes.
@a7 Are Indians unlawfully getting into the US? Or is it corporate leadership that is forcing layoffs and getting H1Bs in? There is no body shop or Indian that can force a US corp to hire one of them. It is your own tribe kicking you out and remember tribalism makes people vote against their own interests. Read and reflect.
Ranjeet and Kamasutranedaran flooding into US like Canada.

Indians need to be thrown out of our country
