Eric Schmitt blasts 'abuse' of H-1B visa program, says Americans 'shouldn't train their foreign replacements'
Fox News
Sen. Eric Schmitt criticized the U.S. H-1B visa program as ripe for abuse on Sunday, calling for reforms.
"I think there's an important, thoughtful debate that's happening. But the context that we need to, I think, keep in mind here is that American workers have been left behind by this economy. Many factory jobs have been sent overseas," Schmittt said. Anders Hagstrom is a reporter with Fox News Digital covering national politics and major breaking news events.

"I think the abuses of the H-1B program have been evident, where you have sort of the sons and daughters of those factory workers who lost their jobs, got white collar jobs as accountants, and they're, you know, training their replacements, the foreign workers who are undercutting their wages," he continued.
