BREAKING: The Trump administration is suspending Microsoft, Adobe, and several major IT outsourcing firms from a key employment-based green card program, accusing them of abusing the visa system at the expense of American workers. Vice President JD Vance singled out Microsoft, saying the tech giant laid off 6,000 American... workers while benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards. "You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign indentured servants." The Labor Department says it will stop accepting new applications and processing pending applications from the targeted companies as federal investigations continue.

Did you know this guy is not an American, he owns IT bodyshops in the USA, they run visa workers, and he also is a sitting legislator in a province of INDIA. And he took out a huge amount of PPP loans. His name is Ramu Venigandla.

“I am hereby suspending from the Permanent Labor Certification Program some of the largest IT outsourcing firms in the world — Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini — and also, due to multiple active federal investigations, @USDOL is suspending Microsoft and Adobe from the program.” - @Sonderling47

They could have done this two years ago instead of waiting until the midterms were a month away.

Throw the executive leadership teams in jail. It used to be American culture to actually hold people in leadership positions accountable.

No one that complains about DEI can complain about this. Best and the brightest, right? Right?!?

Next step is to heavily penalize offshoring. Thats what my company is doing. We have some H1B’s that end up with green cards, start families and are generally productive employees. But they use every opportunity to eliminate US jobs and replace with actual cheap labor in India.

About time. Undercutting American graduates with cheaper foreign labor was never what these visa programs were for. Enforce it and make it stick.

T-minus 10 minutes until some Democrat judge blocks this

Stupid but expected

Excellent They've been at it for years

How did Usha's family get here?

Every American will never get tired of all this Winning

20 year IT leader here… I am proof this is true and why you pay so much digital stuff these days. They are not near the only ones. @Cognizant @Capgemini - How many HB1 Visa’s do you have in your US company and how many large American companies IT departments do you operate?

Republicans for years claimed the H1 visas weren't indentured servants but a vital part of our economy. At least JD is telling the truth now. I doubt he will admit Republicans created the whole H1 visas scam. Importing cheap immigrant labor made a lot of JDs pals rich.

As an Indian, I concur with @JDVance He is not being unreasonable. Invest in America for Americans. The System got exploited and now its time to get it fixed

“Since President Trump launched the @WHFraudTF and put @VP in charge, our worst nightmares about the fraud that had been taking place in this country were exceeded — fraud that has been going on for years, decades, and in some cases, generations.” - @StephenM

Can governments protect domestic jobs without unfairly penalizing skilled global talent? Should visa systems be transparent, merit-based, and strictly enforced? Can fair immigration policy strengthen both workers and innovation? �

But his wife is Indian

Good! Tired of repeating myself on the telephone with someone who barely speaks English.

just for mid terms. wabt tesla, google, salesforce, meta? someones friends with them?

Wait till they find out that Americans are a bunch of unemployable morons

If these allegations are confirmed, companies that abuse the visa system should be held accountable. American workers deserve a fair shot, and immigration programs should be enforced as Congress intended. 🇺🇸

Just wait till none of the great talent wants to work in America anymore.

Someone in Trump family must be looking for bribes from those companies, that is the real story!

Those companies are RUINING AMERICANS LIVES!

JeetD Vance is a peter thiel puppet that will do or say anything he has to, to stay in power.

Jobs should always be for locals, that’s how the USA invites spies from all over the world by allowing all sorts of people. But also, Americans should stop being lazy , the US economy thrives from foreign manpower. Don’t always settle for lucrative government grants.

And I’m sure here comes another lawsuit from the left…

Have to send your wife back along with the hlfbrds

the 6,000 vs 6,300 math is right there and they still tried it. thats not even a loophole anymore thats just bold

American workers deserve fair opportunities, while companies also need access to specialized talent. Finding the right balance is the challenge

I was really surprised to see this news. If these figures and survey results are accurate, it’s definitely worth looking into thoroughly. After all, when it comes to whether there’s a conflict between layoffs and visas, we can’t just look at the surface.

Yes- this is wage based discrimination 💯

Oh man, they should have donated more to trumps savings account If you give enough to the big boss, they come down hard on you.
