US Suspends PERM Program for Microsoft
A speaker announces the suspension of the PERM program for Microsoft due to accusations of abusing the H-1B visa system. The speaker stated that Microsoft laid off 6,000 American workers while benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards, effectively replacing laid-off American workers with foreign nationals. This action is presented as a move to protect American jobs and combat visa fraud.
