🚨 BREAKING: THIS IS HUGE. THE WHITE HOUSE JUST PUT AMERICAN LAYOFFS DIRECTLY INTO THE H-1B REVIEW PROCESS. President Trump signed a new executive order TODAY. Federal agencies are now directed to consider whether an H-1B sponsoring employer: Laid off similarly situated American workers during the previous year OR Plans to lay them off in the future. And there’s more. The Labor Department has 30 DAYS to begin reviewing previously submitted H-1B Labor Condition Applications to determine whether action against sponsoring employers is warranted. Think about the implications. A company lays off thousands of American tech workers. Then turns around and says it needs H-1B workers. The government is now explicitly being told: LOOK AT THE LAYOFFS. This is exactly the question companies should have been forced to answer all along. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…

That does absolutely nothing! I was laid off in January due to outsourcing. My former employer hired 0 H1Bs. But they signed a contract with InfoSys. InfoSys has the H1Bs.

Outsourcing is definitely an issue. Working on that too.

This fixes only one part of the problem. The other part is simply moving the operation to India. Layoff US workers, hire more n India.

Companies should be required to report every single account that belongs to a foreigner. I work at a major IT company and deal with Indians who i can run circles around that only have that position because they can afford to work for less. They “work overnight” and often don’t have a last name.

But I’m supposed to believe they care about free market and small business? Nah man. This is getting too granular. Let businesses operate.

It’s not a free market when it’s the government that created the visa programs to begin with.

Their work around will be to use contract agencies that will be the actual employer, this way when Amazon lays off 100 workers and then hires 100 contractors it will be invisible. The government isn't smart enough to verify if those contractors from company x are here on an H1b?

Don't just read this and cheer. Thousands are profiting off selling American employment to foreigners. PLEASE SUBMIT A COMMENT. IT TAKES NO TIME. regulations.gov/document/USC…

Good ✅👍. The US government also should review L1 A visa ( inter company transfers) American Banks and companies are using this visa type to hire managers from India. I know one example of L1 A transfer ina prominent US Bank. Needless to say the person concerned his spouse also got dependent employment visa in another bank.

Don’t care, it’s a paper tiger to allow them to continue H1B visas. It’s for show. It’s like anything else that Congress does. It’s to fulfill fools who gets giddy that they put a sentence in there to pretend like they solved the problem when there is more holistic solutions.

It will have some impact, but big companies changed their model last 4-5 years. FAANG -> Prime vendors partner (WITCH company) -> Second vendor or employer/body shops they sponsor H1B employees, so impossible to trace it, unless they ban third party employers.

Though I am an Indian I say it always and I say it again. No citizen should lose their jobs due to immigration. At the same time nothing should stop a company hiring skilled talents wherever they might be. Not necessarily within the country. This is how you remain competitive in the world.

Too complex - the test should be H1Bs should be paid top 10% US salaries, else not elegible. Removes need for PERM and other unnecessary process where a beurocrat with limit knowledge is replaced with market signals

A big biopharma laid off over 500 workers last year, outsource their work to India and compelled the laid off employees to train the Indians before they would get their 4months severance payment.

Yippee. Maybe American workers will be able to be employed again. America First!
