00:00Microsoft laid off last year 6,000, 6,000 American workers. At the same time, the company benefited from 6
00:08,300 H-1B visas and almost 3,000 green cards.
00:12In other words, if you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with
00:18one and a half foreign indentured servants.
00:21Now, that is a scandalous system that we've allowed in this country for far too long.
00:26But thanks to the work of this task force and thanks to the empowerment of the president of the United
00:29States, we're going to stop it.
00:31Because thanks to an ongoing investigation, we have decided to suspend the PERM program for Microsoft, which means they will
00:38no longer be able to apply.
00:41They'll no longer be able to take those H-1Bs and apply for permanent resident status within the United States
00:47of America.
