US Vice President JD Vance has walked back his controversial remarks on H-1B visa holders, calling his comments ‘imperfect’ and clarifying that his criticism was aimed at American companies and the visa system, not foreign workers. Vance had described foreign workers as ‘indentured servants’, drawing sharp criticism from India, which called his remarks ‘deeply offensive’ and ‘unwarranted’. He has now argued that the H-1B system gives employers excessive control over foreign employees and leaves them vulnerable to exploitation. The clarification comes as the Trump administration tightens immigration rules, with Indians remaining the biggest beneficiaries of the US H-1B visa programme. Firstpost explains what Vance said, why his remarks sparked controversy and what they mean for Indian professionals in the United States.
