I am writing to highlight the devastating impact that H1B concurrent filing and H4-EAD authorizations have had on American citizens and the job market. These policies, originally intended to support skilled immigration and family integration, have been grossly misused, leading to unfair competition, wage suppression, and job displacement for U.S. citizens and Green Card holders.

Please note: I am using a temporary email address to maintain anonymity and avoid professional repercussions for raising these critical concerns.

1. Why H1B Concurrent Filing Must Be Canceled

The H1B concurrent filing process, which allows H1B visa holders to work on multiple projects with different employers, has become a tool for exploitation and malpractice. Here’s how it works:

• Manipulation by Consulting Firms: Small consulting firms collaborate with known companies or client managers, creating exclusive arrangements where positions are not publicly advertised. They use these ties to displace genuine candidates.
• Exploitation of H1B Employees: Employees are offered concurrent filing opportunities as side gigs, often for significantly lower pay (e.g., $30-$40/hour). This allows consulting firms to pocket the majority of the billing, while the client saves a small amount by hiring at below-market rates.
• Displacement of Citizens and Green Card Holders: U.S. citizens and visa-independent candidates, who cannot compete with these artificially low billing rates, are unfairly pushed out of the job market.
• Widespread Non-Compliance: Many firms fail to report concurrent projects in the Labor Condition Application (LCA), violating legal standards and undermining oversight.

Cancellation of H1B concurrent filing is essential to restore fairness and transparency to the job market.

2. Why H4-EAD Must Be Revoked

H4-EAD, which allows spouses of H1B visa holders to work without sponsorship, has also created a significant imbalance in the job market:

• Flooding of Middle-Class Jobs: H4-EAD holders dominate sectors like retail, education, and customer service, as they require no sponsorship. This has led to a dramatic decline in opportunities for middle-class Americans in these fields.
• Wage Suppression: Employers often prefer H4-EAD holders over citizens due to the lack of sponsorship costs, further driving down wages and creating an uneven playing field.
• Unnecessary Advantage: H4-EAD was introduced to alleviate economic pressures on families of H1B holders, but in reality, it has created an unfair advantage at the expense of U.S. workers.

Revoking H4-EAD will prevent further displacement of middle-class American workers and restore balance to the job market.

3. Broader Malpractices Amplifying These Issues

The misuse of H1B and H4-EAD visas is further exacerbated by systemic malpractices, including:

• Fake Profiles: Offshore agencies mass-submit fraudulent resumes using automation tools, reducing opportunities for genuine candidates.
• Payroll Fraud: Illegal payments, such as under-the-table cash transfers, offshore payments, and tax evasion schemes, are rampant.
• Document Forgery: Consulting firms submit fake Green Cards and other documents to clients, undermining the system’s integrity.

These practices create a toxic ecosystem where unethical firms thrive, and American workers are left at a disadvantage.

4. Immediate Recommendations

To address these challenges, I strongly urge the following actions:

1. Cancel H1B Concurrent Filing: Eliminate the provision that allows H1B holders to work on multiple projects, which has become a breeding ground for exploitation.
2. Revoke H4-EAD Authorization: End the H4-EAD program to prevent further job displacement of American citizens and lawful residents.
3. Mandatory Document Verification: Require all employers and vendors to verify immigration and employment documents directly with USCIS/DHS databases.
4. Audits and Accountability: Conduct regular audits of consulting firms and impose strict penalties for violations of immigration and labor laws.
5. Offshore Monitoring: Implement tools to detect and block automated offshore submissions of fake profiles.

5. A Call to Action

The H1B and H4-EAD programs, in their current form, have become symbols of systemic abuse, harming American workers and eroding trust in the job market.

I urge your organization to take a strong stand by advocating for the cancellation of H1B concurrent filing and H4-EAD. This decisive action will protect the rights of American citizens, restore fairness to the job market, and curb the exploitation rampant in the current system.

Thank you for your dedication to addressing these critical issues and ensuring a level playing field for all.

In India, locals fiercely protect their job markets from outsiders—even those from neighboring states.

• Telangana: Reserves government jobs for locals, excluding Telugu speakers from Andhra.
• Mumbai: Migrant workers from Bihar often face hostility and even violence.
• Karnataka: Non-locals who don’t speak Kannada are targeted, and English/non-Kannada signage is forcibly removed.
• National Policy: India doesn’t even allow foreigners to apply for work visas, let alone take local jobs.

The Future of White Americans in Their Own Workforce: A Wake-Up Call

Solution:

🔹 Enforce Immigration & Hiring Laws – Strengthen H-1B regulations to prevent job displacement and fraudulent hiring (fake resumes, proxy interviews).

🔹 Reinvest in American Talent – Corporations like Google & Amazon should prioritize U.S. workers over foreign expansion. Upskilling programs can bridge the talent gap.

🔹 Support Small Businesses – Break monopolies in key industries (motels, retail) by providing incentives for local entrepreneurs.

🔹 Fight Economic Inequality – Implement policies to ensure fair wages and job security for American workers.

🔹 Reevaluate Globalization – Balance overseas operations with domestic job growth to prevent the U.S. workforce from being hollowed out.

🚨 What Americans Can Do:

✅ Speak up about outsourcing’s impact on jobs & wages.
✅ Push for stronger labor protections & fair hiring policies.
✅ Support local businesses over outsourcing-driven monopolies.

It’s time to fight for the American workforce before it becomes unrecognizable.
