J.D. Vance: Big Corporations Are Using H1-B Visas to Undercut American Workers’ Wages, and We’re Saying ‘No More’

‘Ladies and gentlemen, American jobs ought to go to American workers and not foreign fraudsters, and the Department of Labor’s fighting back against it’

EXCERPT:

VANCE: “Now, I want to talk about another fraud crackdown, and this is almost hard to believe, but, you know, we have a program called the H1-B visa program. This goes to show how broad-based the fraud task force is, is we’re fighting for your taxpayer money, but we’re also making sure that fraudsters don’t take advantage of these visa programs. Now, why does this program exist? This is a visa program that was set up to ensure that if you were a brilliant technology person or a brilliant scientist or a brilliant doctor, you could come to the United States and get access to this visa program. But you know what’s happening way too much, is the big corporations and fraudsters overseas are using this program to undercut the wages of American workers. So, you know what we’re doing in the Trump Administration? We’re saying no more.”
