<h1>Senator Proposes Amendment to Raise H-1B Costs, Increase Wages, and Improve Mobility for Visa Holders.</h1> A prominent American senator has criticized the H-1B visa program, claiming it replaces well-paying American jobs with lower-paid foreign workers, often treated as indentured servants. He proposed an amendment to increase H-1B hiring costs and raise wages for these positions to prevent undercutting American workers. The amendment would also make H-1B visas portable, allowing workers to change jobs more easily. The senator criticized high-profile tech leaders for supporting the program, arguing it undermines American wages and employment. He cited data showing significant wage disparities between H-1B workers and their American counterparts in similar roles.
