Y Combinator's Ankit Gupta faces backlash over H-1B comments

Y Combinator partner Ankit Gupta called the push to prioritize American workers in hiring a DEI effort, mirroring Vice President JD Vance’s position. Former Reverie Labs co-founder, Gupta posted the comment on X and then privatized his account. H-1B critic Nalin Haley responded, demanding an immediate visa ban and blaming corporate greed for displacing U.S. workers.
