Former Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf just delivered the reality check America needed on the H-1B visa program—and it’s not pretty. In a candid assessment that cuts through decades of corporate propaganda, Wolf confirmed what working Americans have suspected all along: the current system is fundamentally broken and bears no resemblance to what President Trump envisions for American immigration policy.
Wolf’s bombshell analysis reveals that H-1B visas today primarily import low-skilled workers who permanently displace Americans, not the “really, really technical high-skilled individuals” that Congress originally intended. This isn’t reform territory—this is tear-it-down-and-rebuild-it territory.
The former DHS chief’s honesty stands in stark contrast to the usual Washington double-speak on immigration. While establishment politicians from both parties have spent years defending this corporate welfare scheme, Wolf courageously acknowledged that Trump’s vision of bringing talent to “train American workers and leave” requires scrapping the current framework entirely.
This matters because it exposes the fundamental lie at the heart of America’s immigration debate. For decades, multinational corporations have weaponized H-1B visas to suppress American wages while claiming they couldn’t find qualified domestic workers. Meanwhile, countless American STEM graduates found themselves locked out of their own job market, watching foreign workers take positions at below-market rates.
Wolf’s assessment validates what America First patriots have argued from the beginning: true immigration reform means putting American workers first, not finding clever ways to justify the status quo. The Constitution’s mandate to “promote the general Welfare” applies to American citizens, not global corporate profit margins.
The economic implications are staggering. By artificially inflating the labor supply with workers willing to accept substandard wages, the current H-1B system has systematically undermined American earning power in high-tech sectors. This isn’t free market capitalism—it’s managed decline disguised as economic policy.
What makes Wolf’s intervention particularly significant is his position within Trump’s inner circle. This isn’t criticism from the cheap seats; it’s strategic intelligence from someone who understands both the policy mechanics and political realities. Wolf is essentially providing Trump with the intellectual framework to pursue comprehensive H-1B reform while maintaining his pro-worker credentials.
The former secretary’s suggestion of “perhaps a new visa program” points toward genuine solutions. Instead of defending an indefensible system, America could design immigration policies that actually serve national interests. Imagine a program that required companies to pay premium wages for foreign talent, ensuring they only recruit workers with truly irreplaceable skills. Or one that mandated genuine technology transfer, where foreign workers must document their knowledge-sharing with American colleagues.
This represents classic America First governance: honest assessment over political convenience, substance over symbolism. While globalist politicians have spent decades papering over H-1B failures with bureaucratic Band-Aids, Wolf advocates for fundamental restructuring based on American interests.
The constitutional framework couldn’t be clearer. Immigration policy should strengthen American communities, enhance American prosperity, and advance American strategic interests. Any system that fails these tests—regardless of corporate lobbying pressure—deserves the scrap heap.
Patriots should watch closely how Trump responds to Wolf’s analysis. This moment presents a golden opportunity to build the immigration system America deserves, one that truly serves our workers, our economy, and our constitutional principles. The question isn’t whether H-1B reform is needed—Wolf has settled that debate. The question is whether our leaders have the courage to pursue it.
America’s best days lie ahead, but only if we choose policies that put Americans first. Chad Wolf just showed us the path forward. Now it’s time to walk it.
