'I love my in-laws': JD Vance calls Indian-origin family ‘great contributors’ in immigration debate
Vance said new H-1B visas are down about 90% after administration changes and defended tougher immigration rules while praising his Indian-origin in-laws.
- On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance addressed H-1B visa fraud at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Georgia, praising his Indian-origin in-laws as "great contributors" to the United States.
- Administrative actions, including a $100,000 fee for certain petitions and lottery reforms, reduced new H-1B visas by about 90 percent since January 2025 to encourage higher-wage hiring.
- Responding to an Indian-origin attendee regarding green card delays for families present over 10 years, Vance argued citizens must prioritize the United States' best interests over their country of origin.
- Indian professionals, who account for over 70 percent of approximately 85,000 annual H-1B visas, face ongoing backlogs, prompting many to leverage alternative visas like O-1 or EB-1.
- These comments arrive amid a stricter immigration stance that saw US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees surpass 70,000 in January, with some Republican lawmakers proposing to restrict the H-1B program entirely.
