Trump administration warns businesses not to overlook American workers
  • 7 years ago
The Trump administration warned companies that they will investigate and prosecute those that favor foreign workers over U.S. citizens on Monday. The warning came during the release of the H-1B visa applications, where American employers (especially in technology companies) can find highly-skilled workers. While the visas are reserved for Americans, the program allows for low-payed foreign workers to be employed as well. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services stated that they will improve the use of H-1B visas so it doesn’t overlook qualified American workers. President Donald Trump, who called the H-1B a “cheap labor program,” made a draft proposal in January that would change regulations of the visa to ensure that U.S. workers benefit greatly from the program.
