In this episode of Leap with Japa, we dive into the heated debate surrounding H-1B visas, a topic that’s sparked controversy across the U.S. political and business landscape. With high-profile voices like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy weighing in, the conversation has become a tug-of-war between innovation and immigration reform.
I explore the history and purpose of the H-1B program, the rising cost of education in the U.S., and the hidden role of student loans in corporate hiring decisions. You'll learn why associate degree holders are often excluded from entry-level tech jobs and how corporations benefit from hiring international workers over local talent.
Most importantly, we propose practical solutions to fix the broken system—solutions that could balance the needs of U.S. workers and companies without shutting out global talent.
Whether you’re an international student, a policymaker, or simply curious about the future of work in America, this episode provides valuable insights into one of the most misunderstood immigration programs.
Listen now and join the conversation on how we can make the H-1B system fairer for everyone.
