The Tech Recruitment Ruse That Has Avoided Trump's Crackdown on Immigration

a year ago

The PERM system allows employers to sponsor foreign workers for green cards after employing them on H-1B visas, but the process is flawed and often abused.
Employers must advertise jobs in print newspapers to prove they can't find U.S. workers, but these ads are rarely seen by potential applicants.
Many advertised jobs lead to empty offices or mail drops, indicating the ads are not genuine recruitment efforts.
The PERM system creates long waits for green cards, leaving foreign workers in a precarious position and often underpaid compared to U.S. counterparts.
Despite criticism and reports of abuse, the PERM system remains largely unchanged due to congressional dysfunction and industry interests.
