Overview
- Mitchell, CEO of Rasmussen Reports, said sending back a senior H‑1B developer is the economic equivalent of deporting 10 undocumented immigrants.
- He described H‑1B hires as “third‑world engineers” and alleged companies use a “bottomless well” of younger foreign workers to replace older American engineers.
- He cited a pay comparison claiming an H‑1B developer at about $90,000 a year equals ten undocumented workers each earning $9 an hour.
- Pointing to workforce composition, he said Silicon Valley is roughly two‑thirds foreign‑born, with coverage referencing data that about 23% are Indian and 18% Chinese.
- He announced on X that he intends to start a consultancy to “de‑Indianize” U.S. companies, and he criticized the Trump administration for not sending back H‑1B visa holders.
