Walmart is laying off 1,500 workers in the US. MAGA supporters blame H-1B visa holders and link the move to Indian-origin CTO Suresh Kumar. One user said, “Walmart is replacing Americans with H-1Bs.” But Walmart says the layoffs are to cut costs and improve decision-making. The job cuts affect tech, e-commerce, and ad teams. There’s no proof that H-1B workers caused the layoffs. “Walmart has nearly 3,500 H-1B openings,” one user wrote, sharing a photo of the CTO. Walmart says the cuts are part of a larger plan to move staff and raise prices due to high tariffs. (PC: Reuters)
