The majority of likely American voters says the United States does not need any more foreign H-1B visa workers to fill white-collar jobs, a new poll finds.
A Rasmussen Reports survey reveals that 6-in-10 Americans say the U.S. “already has enough talented people to train and recruit” for white-collar jobs when asked whether Congress should increase the inflow of foreign workers, primarily those arriving through the H-1B visa program.
Meanwhile, just 26 percent of Americans say Congress should increase the number of foreign visa workers taking white-collar jobs.
Republicans and swing voters, in particular, say the U.S. has enough American talent for such jobs and does not need more foreign visa workers.
The survey shows that 72 percent of Republicans, 63 percent of swing voters, and a plurality of 47 percent of Democrats say the U.S. has talented people who can be trained and recruited for open white-collar jobs.
For years, Breitbart News has chronicled the fraud and abuse within the H-1B visa program where white-collar Americans are laid off and forced to train their foreign replacements, primarily from India and China.
