US Senator Mike Lee has suggested pausing H-1B visas, asking, “Is it time to pause H1-B visas?” His remarks came after unverified reports claimed Walmart took bribes to hire Indian tech workers while cutting American jobs. Walmart denied the claims, saying the case had “nothing to do with H1B visas.” The comments follow far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s call to stop H-1B visas for Indians, saying they replace US workers. The debate comes as President Trump threatens tariffs on India. Indian nationals hold over 70% of H-1B visas, making them the most affected by such proposals. (PC: HT)
