I have been busy with dozens of other time-sensitive matters, but I wanted to comment on this.
Our federal (and most state) employment laws mandate a level playing field for American workers vis-Γ -vis foreigners β yet many American tech (and other) companies prefer to hire cheaper/exploitable foreign workers to do routine jobs Americans could do, and they do this by failing to post jobs on their normal hiring channels (PERM violations), letting foreign-born hiring managers pipeline cheap foreign labor from body-shop mills over American workers (H1-B abuses), lie about their eligibility for no-cap H1-B hiring, abuse other visa categories such as J-1 visas (we see you, universities!), abuse OPT hiring to get cheap, exploitable foreign labor, and sometimes β getting super arrogant, gaslight laid-off and sidelined Americans while doing any of the above.
These are not good business practices; they are not patriotic economic practices; and they are illegal labor practices. This administration will not allow American employers to discriminate against American workers. It is illegal, wrong, and bad for our economy. I am sure my colleagues at
@USEEOC and
@USDOL agree. We are all on the case, and working together to level the playing field for US workers.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
