00:00Thanks to an ongoing investigation, we have decided to suspend the PERM program for Microsoft,
00:06which means they will no longer be able to take those H-1Bs and apply for permanent resident
00:14status within the United States of America. Now, our message to Microsoft and to any other foreign
00:19or domestic corporation is quite simple. We obviously want you to thrive in the United
00:23States of America. We want people to invest in the United States of America, particularly the
00:28American technology sector. We are the biggest boosters of your industry. We want you to
00:33continue to grow and to employ a lot of people, but we want you to employ American workers. And
00:38so our message to Microsoft is you're a great American company, but you've got to hire great
00:43American workers. You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign
00:47indentured servants.
