Since 2022, the same companies cutting Americans were importing visa workers. The receipts, one by one.
Microsoft: 3,426 cut, 3,259 H-1Bs brought in. Nearly one out, one in.
Google: 951 Americans cut in 2024, 1,058 H-1Bs hired the same year. More gone than seats open.
Intel: nearly 3,000 cut, 851 approved, after taking $7.86 billion in taxpayer subsidies.
Amazon: laid off in wave after wave and stayed the single largest H-1B sponsor in the country the entire time.
Meta: cut tens of thousands, already paid $14 million to settle DOJ findings it favored visa workers, kept filing anyway.
Apple: paid $25 million for rigging hiring against Americans, still one of the top 15 visa users.
IBM: 3,900 laid off after bringing in 1,200-plus H-1Bs, and separately caught favoring visa holders in its own job ads.
Seven of the most valuable companies on earth. Same years. Same playbook.
They didn't run out of Americans.
They ran the math.
