What do you think of H1b's in business orgs without business degrees and moving from Tech. H1b's are specialized skills got for special areas like Tech and shouldn't change roles. Can we report them to USCIS ?

H1B is not that bad ,
Outsourcing to other country is bad.
H1B candidates pays tax and contributes to social security which they don’t use, it’s kind of donation to USA citizens.
They also buy houses and keep many businesses running.
With the advent of remote work the importance of temporary skilled workers lost relevance except for a handful of jobs that may require physical presence.
There are two things going on. One is corporations abusing the system to pay lower wages. Actually it would make sense to have this type or scarce workers to earn more not less than the market, after all the point is nobody local can do the job.
The second is that in many cases there are foreign companies that keep helping and bringing their own people and using the visas as the vessel.
I don’t believe it’s wrong for local workers to fight back when possible, and alert authorities if rules have been broken.

Yes kinda like put a tarriff on their earnings since they are illegals. Perhaps this will get to voluntarily return to their village!!!
Give them imports the booot!! Or charge them withholding tax and let's work on the deficit that way!!!
OP has more stuff to worry than someone else’s visa status.
In many countries, practical education and skills training outperform what we offer in the US, which leaves our workforce at a disadvantage.
The problem isn’t foreigners “stealing” jobs. H1B visas have always existed to fill labor shortages in highly skilled fields. The real issues are deeper than that.
Our education system is failing. There is too much theory and standardized testing and not enough focus on practical skills, adaptability, and technical training. At the same time, companies keep offshoring tasks overseas to cut costs instead of investing in local talent and providing real career development. Employers expect workers to come pre-trained, but they rarely offer apprenticeships, mentorship, or meaningful training programs.
Other countries are moving faster and innovating more, while the US is coasting on reputation instead of keeping up with global standards. That gap is only getting wider. On top of that, there is a victim mentality here that you don’t see as much elsewhere. People fall into the trap of blaming outsiders, but you can’t even fault them completely when governments fail to provide strong education, healthcare, and support systems. Without those foundations, it is easier for blame and frustration to take over.
If we actually fixed education, invested in workforce training, and pushed companies to build talent here instead of offshoring it, the whole “immigrants are stealing jobs” narrative wouldn’t even exist.
Are you saying divorce trump?
Thank you for your post.
Hence, the rationale for Secession and the second American Revolution.
The 1st one was the Divorce from Mother England. It's long past time for DIVORCE #2 !!!
Report em and get em outta here!! They are not citizens and are taking up a job that should go to an American and not a temporary!!+
Stop pot-stirring, that’s not how h1b works. It’s not limited to tech, so seeing an h1b in a business role doesn’t mean they switched from tech.
Switching roles within the same field is fine, as long as the new role meets the visa’s requirements - at least, I think. That said, changing fields might be a different story.
@OP I think that anyone who publicly posts a question on this forum asking if they should inform on their colleagues to USCIS, has some major issues, and should seriously seek some help.
