Gonzales mocked that in an obese America, they could not find anyone for ice cream sales analyst.

She also cited a record of a California business called 'Sing in Chinese' hiring foreigners on H-1B for the position of English teacher.

Gonzales's argument

"Why the hell do we need to hire janitors from a foreign country?" Gonzales said, citing the record of a Massachusetts cleaning service hiring janitors for a salary of $31,200 and adding, "They can't find anyone in the country who knows a thing about cleaning toilets."

She also said, "Yes, they could not find an English teacher in America."

Program context and policy

The H-1B visa program allows companies to hire foreigners for specialty occupations with skills that are not present in Americans.

The article said Silicon Valley companies are highly dependent on this visa program as they hire engineers from India and China but Gonzales revealed how small cleaning services companies are also hiring foreigners and are contributing to building an eco system that needs to hire foreigner English teachers for the non-English speaking immigrant workers.

The visa program has now come under immense scrutiny as MAGA called for an abolition of this program, as they are stealing jobs from Americans.

The administration imposed a $100,000 fee each foreign national a company hires on H-1B, and the lottery system has also been overhauled.
