Trump Admin Blocks Tech Companies from H-1B Perm Program
a day ago
- The Trump administration blocked Microsoft, Adobe, and several IT outsourcing firms from the PERM green card program, citing H-1B abuse and job displacement of American workers.
- Vice President JD Vance specifically called out Microsoft, noting it laid off 6,000 American workers last year while receiving 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards.
- Vance said companies should hire American workers, while Microsoft defended its practices, saying it pays H-1B employees the same as comparable workers and values the American workforce.
