If you read a bit more you'd know that H1B visas are given to fill specialty occupations, which companies cannot fill from home grown talent, or better said, lack of talent or qualifications.  

The US has a labour shortage....are you not aware of this?

Sure dude... did you finally figure out ignore so you can hide like the coward you are from facts like these?

So, in other words, just like Canada's foreign worker program, it's not being abused. Right?

What other words....  How is it being abused?  H1B visas are being given because the US does not have the talent pool to fill many specialized positions so companies look to those visa holders.  It's not that complicated for you, is it?

Again though, where is the abuse?

You have your head stuck in the sand mubling this to yourself...

While Big Tech firms lay off thousands of workers — often specifically noting to investors the efficiencies in AI that allow them to reduce headcount — many of those same companies are still submitting H-1B applications, be they new visa holders or renewals, prompting further outcry from skeptics of the program who want far stricter policies from an administration that rode to power on bold immigration promises.

If the stats in the OP link are correct then isn't the Trump admin doing a bad job compared to their goals?

Those are 2024 numbers. 

Still, they need to update the site. We're practically 7 months in.
