Ann Coulter and Laura Loomer have been posting a series of tweets targeting imported H-1B workers and American Indians. Ann Coulter in a tweet criticized the tech industry for preferring to hire 'indentured servants' rather than genuinely skilled workers, implying that the H-1B visa system is exploited for cheaper labor rather than bringing in high-skilled talent. She said:
"American workers can leave a company. Imported H1B workers can't. Tech wants indentured servants, not "high-skilled" workers."
Now, people have posted a string of reactions to this comment, while the majority of users find themselves surprised at siding with Ann Coulter, some are against her views. One X user who agreed with Coulter said:
"Ann Coulter making sense … Laura Loomer challenging Elon Musk … Nikki Haley taking on Vivek Ramaswamy … did the sun rise from the west today?"
Another X user chimed in with:
"Okay, I’m agreeing with Laura Loomer & Ann Coulter. I need to just go lie down for a minute."
An X user requoted Ann Coulter from August when she commented on Vivek Ramaswamy. Sharing a video of Coulter's commentary, they wrote:
"Ann Coulter to Vivek Ramaswamy: 'I agreed with many, many things you said…but I still would not have voted for you because you’re an Indian' (August)"
Some X users also criticized Ann Coulter's H-1B comment as being false. One said:
"Community Note pending is correct. Ann Coulter's claim H1B can't leave companies is simply wrong"
Another user explained the need for importing H1B workers by saying:
"Due to the American education system being so expensive-American students often cannot afford the extended degrees required for some of the top tech jobs! That's why they try to import H1B workers! If Americans didn't have to get in debt or mortgage their homes..big difference."
Who is Ann Coulter and why is she against current H1B visa policies in America?
Ann Coulter is a prominent conservative commentator, author, and attorney, recognized for her bold and often controversial opinions on politics, culture, and immigration. Known for her strong right-wing stance, she frequently criticizes liberal policies and progressive viewpoints. She has authored ten books, which have sold over 3 million copies. Some of her books include Adios, America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole, and Resistance Is Futile!: How the Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mind.
As is evidenced by her frequent posts on X, Ann Coulter is against the current H1B visa policies in America because she believes they are being used to undercut American workers. In one post she criticized Trump for failing to deliver on his promise to limit entry of foreign students and H1B visa policies. She wrote:
"And then he (Trump) betrayed his voters. His 2020 loss proved that I wasn't the only one who noticed. 2024 was the triumph of hope over experience. <<2016 Trump promised to reduce the pipeline of foreign students, H-1b, OPT, and driving Americans out of every last damn bachelors degree industry billed as "super high skilled">>"
She also reposted a tweet from Jack Posobiec, an American alt-right political activist, television correspondent and presenter, conspiracy theorist, and former United States Navy intelligence officer. The post read:
"The reason you see so many Chinese and Indian foreign students in the Ivies isn't that there is a lack of American talent, it's that these spots are given to foreign students who are then charged more than Americans and are not obliged to provide financial aid to them"
Coulter claims that companies often use the H1B program to replace American employees with foreign workers, particularly in the tech industry, which she believes depresses wages and stifles job opportunities for U.S. citizens.
