Claim that US visa suspensions expose a visa-selling industry

Amid a wave of anger in India over the suspension of US work visas, one widely shared argument holds that the outrage exists because the visas themselves have become a commodity. The claim states that consultancies and middlemen have long effectively sold access to visas, and that the system was never primarily about talent. The remark is drawing tens of thousands of likes, fuelling debate over fraud, outsourcing and who benefits from the visa pipeline.
Why now: The US visa suspensions are hitting India's tech and outsourcing workforce, and this framing is resonating as a cynical explanation for the backlash.

- You’re seeing a mass Indian crashout over these visa suspensions because the visas are the commodity. They’re selling visas. They’ve always been selling visas. “Talent” has nothing to do with it. · Oilfield_Rando · 35.5K
