A Florida man’s post about H-1B visas has sparked a discussion about immigration in the US. Sean Carpenter, who describes himself as a musician and Republican MAGA supporter from Florida, posted on X that H-1B visas are ‘fraudulent’. In his post, he claimed that he had heard three gate agents at the Washington DC airport speaking Hindi. He then asked why these jobs were relegated to Indians instead of Americans. H-1B visas are given to skilled workers in the US who are in specialty occupations.
The post read, “Sitting in the DC airport, listening to three gate agents speaking Hindi behind me. Tell me why we need Indians to work the gates at airports again? H-1B is a complete fraud.”

The post prompted a big debate on X about immigration to the US. Many claimed that the agents may have been naturalised citizens. “You know Indians who are born here and American citizens speak Hindi, right! Or Green card holders who became naturalised speak Hindi as well,” an account wrote.

Some had a sarcastic take on the matter. “Imagine that, people speaking a different language in an international airport,” a comment read.

“You have no idea that Indian origin US citizens can also speak Hindi. Like whatever European country your parents grandparents came from all over the world for many many years. Hindi is not equal to h1b,” one account noted.

Some, however, did agree with the original post. “H1B1 is a scam. Companies just want cheap labor and also offshore our jobs overseas,” an individual claimed.

The H-1B visas were the subject of a huge debate in the US after Donald Trump assumed the presidency for the second time. Many of his supporters believe that visas like the H-1B are responsible for taking jobs away from Americans. On the other hand, others have stated there is a need for these visas, which can help the US stay ahead of the curve in sectors like technology.
According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), H-1B visa applications for the financial year 2026 fell to 3,58,737 from over 4,80,000 in FY2025, the lowest in four years.
