Ron Hira | Criticism of the H-1B Program: Debate Club

We have Ron Hira, Howard Professor and Co-author of his latest publication “Reforming US High Skilled Guestworker Program” which was published in the Atlantic Council. Along with Erickson Immigration Group Attorneys Justin Parsons and Hiba Anver the three debate his critics on the H-1b system over whether it inherently exploits Immigration workers for cheaper labor which invariably dispossess qualified US workers. Both parties agree there should be a system that finds the best and brightest while at the same time not overlooking American workers or under compensating immigrants. This conversation confronts the terms of where that line should lie.
