Homeland Security Dept. Cannot 'Precisely' Track the Number of Foreigners Working on H-1B Visas
No one knows how many foreign workers with H-1B visas are in the United States at any given time because of "limitations in agency data," a new report says.Congress created the H-1B visa program in 1990 so U.S. employers could hire temporary, skilled foreign workers to give their companies a competitive edge. Many H-1B workers come here to work in high-tech fields. By law, the number of foreign workers holding H-1B visas is capped, currently at 65,000. Not "precisely", eh? I'm actually please that we can do this well given that we can't even seem to be able to identify military personnel who are owed a $35k for being forced to remain in the military.
