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. See which other major tech firms are being targeted:

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Tom Homan declares OPEN WAR on H-1B and foreign labor abuse after multiple tech companies just had their privileges SUSPENDED for undermining American workers I VOTED FOR THIS! "This is going to save American jobs and kids going to college right now for IT degrees. Guess what? There's going to be a well-paying job waiting for YOU in the future because of the actions of President Trump!" 🇺🇸 "Some of the best-paying jobs are these tech companies, and rather than have an American doing that job that has a college degree to do that type of work, they'll bring a foreign worker in on H-1B because they can pay them less." This comes right after VP JD Vance announced that eight companies are suspended from the green card labor certification program: Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini Vance said the H-1B program has become "rife with fraud." He called out companies that lay off Americans and replace them with "foreign indentured servants" — SPOT ON 💯 And the suspension will "last as long as it needs to." Those jobs should go to AMERICANS FIRST!

WINNING: The Labor Department is investigating H-1B visa abuse at big tech companies like Microsoft and Adobe, and nine major universities are now under investigation. Officials say the task force has uncovered $20 billion in fraud over five months and secured over 200 convictions. Labor Department Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito says subpoenas have been issued, and if there's a conspiracy, he will personally help handcuff people in college and university squares. D'Esposito says Biden treated fraud as a paperwork error. Trump and Vance are treating it as a crime. Democrats are calling it an attack on immigrants. It's a defense of American workers whose jobs went to cheaper visa holders. Microsoft says most of its filings were extensions, but the question is why a visa meant for temporary talent became a business model. American jobs belong to American workers. Enforce the law.

The days of taking advantage of Americans are OVER!!

The Trump administration is suspending Microsoft from a program to apply for green cards for workers as it accuses the company of H-1B visa fraud. He alleged the company has laid off over 6,000 American workers while benefiting “from 6,300 H-1B visas and almost 3,000 green cards.” “The program has become rife with fraud over the last several years, probably the last several decades,” Vance said, adding, “There has been no company in the United States, unfortunately, that has abused this system more than Microsoft.”

🚨 NOW: Stephen Miller GOES OFF on Microsoft and other companies for committing visa abuse Microsoft is now BLOCKED from the PERM program! "In case after case after case, we see individuals that are being brought into the country for skills that are not specialized, that are not unique, and that are not skilled, and that are doing work that is currently being done by American workers, but a vastly lower pay!" "Historic volumes of food stamp fraud, daycare fraud, Medicaid fraud, health care fraud, Social Security fraud. Every kind of fraud you can imagine that steals from and betrays American families!" "Systemic immigration fraud that violates the laws and statutes of the United States to undercut American workers and labor. The H-1B program and the PERM program that's attached to it have explicit statutory commands that must be followed." It's a whole system built to rip off the American taxpayers! Democrats and FAILED LEADERS ignored all of this fraud. Donald Trump is going after ALL of it at once, in unison! FRAUDSTERS ARE ON NOTICE. ANY company abusing the visa system should see the writing on the wall and REVERSE COURSE, IMMEDIATELY. They could be next! Stephen Miller

🚨 JUST NOW: Trump Dept. of Labor IG Anthony D'Esposito just MIC DROPPED Microsoft and other tech companies who just got suspended from the PERM foreign labor program "They are using the H-1B as a BUSINESS MODEL — and that's WRONG! THEY are taking American jobs away from American workers!" "We [are] securing the BACK DOOR — people SNEAKING IN a different way to claim citizenship." "There are PLENTY of people graduating schools and universities looking for a job. This is NOT a business model." He's exactly right. The H-1B gets them in the door, and PERM is how they get a green card and stay for good! For years these companies ran ads for jobs they never planned to give to Americans, then said no qualified Americans applied. They laid off thousands of citizens, THEN HIRED THOUSANDS OF H1Bs. FINALLY we are shutting it down and putting Americans first. That is exactly what I voted for 🇺🇸
