President Donald Trump faces growing pressure to curb Indian IT outsourcing and reform the H-1B visa program, as estimates suggest 30-40 percent of U.S. IT jobs are outsourced overseas, primarily to India, displacing American workers.

The debate has intensified with calls from Republican allies to prioritize U.S. jobs, while speculation grows about Trump’s plans to ban outsourcing practices that favor foreign labor.

According to a June 2025 report from Unity Communications, India dominates as the top outsourcing hub for U.S. companies, particularly in IT and customer support, with an estimated 1.5 million IT workers employed by U.S. firms.

Other key outsourcing destinations include the Philippines (400,000 IT workers), China (300,000), Mexico (200,000), Brazil (150,000), and Poland (100,000).

Unity’s website highlights India’s appeal due to its "low-cost, technically skilled, and English-speaking IT professionals."

These figures align with industry estimates from sources like the Economic Policy Institute, though exact numbers vary due to fluctuating contracts.

Trump has hinted at restricting IT outsourcing multiple times.

"Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India, and slashing profits in Ireland. Under President Trump, those days are over," the president declared at the AI Summit in Washington, DC, in July.

Trump ally Peter Navarro on Monday amplified conservative commentator Jack Poso’s post on X, which called for a 100% tariff on foreign call centers and remote workers, signaling Trump’s potential policy direction.

The H-1B program, which allocates 85,000 visas annually, is central to the debate.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services data shows 72 percent of H-1B visas go to Indian workers, with 12 percent to Chinese workers.

Critics, including Democrat Sen. Bernie Sanders, have called H-1B workers "indentured servants," urging higher employer fees to deter exploitation.

While globalist elites and tech titans cry about "talent shortages," they’re shipping jobs to Bangalore faster than you can say "press 1 for English."

The H-1B program, a darling of corporate greed, lets companies undercut American talent with cheap foreign labor. Trump’s flirting with torching this racket, and good riddance. If he follows through, it’s a middle finger to the open-borders crowd and a lifeline for American IT workers tired of being sidelined.
