【Vance: Only foreign "super geniuses" are worthy of the U.S. H-1B visa】
On October 29, 2025, in Washington, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said at the "Turning Point" event held in Mississippi:
The president and many of us support reform of the H-1B visa. I think that when we have our own accountants who are willing to work for high salaries, we should not hire accountants from other countries. Some people want to come to the United States. I am sure that some of them can enrich America by coming here. But we need to keep their numbers at a lower level.
Vance added:
It is necessary to reduce future immigration. The H-1B visa should be given to "super geniuses," so that they stay in the United States and are used to hire employees at lower salaries. The previous administration led by former U.S. President Biden and the wrong practices in relevant fields are the main culprits behind this situation, with about 1 million legal immigrants entering the United States each year. Now, we are allowing too many immigrants into the United States, and I believe the evidence is very clear: many of these immigrants are reducing the income of American workers. The United States already has 50 million immigrants, and now society needs to unite and create a sense of community so that new immigrants can integrate. Before completing this, we need to be careful about any additional immigration.
