Donald Trump has issued a fresh ultimatum to Silicon Valley: stop hiring foreign workers. In a move targeting Indian tech talent, Trump is pushing Big Tech to "hire American". This comes amid reports that the Trump administration is considering steps to overhaul the H-1B visa system. Under his proposed plan, the current random visa lottery would be replaced by a points-based model—one that favours the elite and sidelines smaller companies and fresh graduates. Over 70% of H-1B visas go to Indian nationals. Now, many are receiving deportation notices despite holding valid visas. Trump’s clampdown risks dismantling the very foundation of America’s tech success, which owes much to immigrant talent. India, the world's biggest supplier of tech workers, stands to lose the most.
