Excluding outsourcing companies, such as Tata, there is no proof that H1-B holders are paid less than the prevailing wage. The Trump administration has not targeted such companies, thus proving that this is a political move made to appeal their voter base.

Also, they are not banning H2-A seasonal worker visas, i.e. temporary farm workers, furthering in the fact that this administration does not care about unemployment, given that most jobs lost because COVID-19 are blue collar and lower wage service jobs.

In short, this is a move that appeals to the "America first" supporters, but has little productive value.
