It will be funny and sarcastic to see how many more H1B indians is IBM Consulting able to bring in. There were about 1,200 already in 2024. Indian Sub CIOs just bringing indians like a swarm. Stupid decisions.

the H1B program is traitorous to American workers. Never hire an H1B, hire American
Go look up the definition of sarcasm. We’ll wait.
@OP are Juan, Dan, Joe, and Ric Indian? Also, if you think H1B subcontractors are cheap, how come they are able to buy homes in your community? How come they can buy vehicles and send their children to the same schools as locals? A lot of them are single-income families. If they are considered "cheap," then maybe you are as well. Furthermore, how come you aren't able to buy or afford a home?
We sink pretty low when we make such disgusting comments. Can we please take a pause and understand that real families were impacted over the last two days? If you don't care about others, then I guess no one cares about you, either.
Plus, the decision to bring on third-party contractors (3Ps) is strictly to line the pockets of the company's big executives. I thought a lot of you were celebrating when Juan announced two additional PTO days and coverage for additional insurance costs starting in 2027. Where did you think the funding for those perks was going to come from?
And regarding the "daddy" in the White House—if you think he is going to do anything about immigration, good luck. His phone and all of his merchandise are made in China. After the elections, you will see reality. He is too busy making money, losers.
You cannot leverage global talent and resources to build wealth, while denying equity and respect to the immigrant professionals who helped create it.
I can’t believe people think this practice is ok. Then again corporations won when they busted up unions. This is why they get away with stuff like this. When you hide behind saying someone is racist you ignore the real problem which is the upper classes are doing everything they can to take more from us workers and give it to themselves. American workers should be arm in arm, not yet though, maybe soon? Keep using ist words though…all the way to the unemployment office.

"What is Project Firewall?
Project Firewall is the Wage and Hour Division’s (WHD) enforcement initiative focused on safeguarding the rights, wages, and job opportunities of highly skilled U.S. workers and maximizing compliance with the H-1B visa program. Launched on September 19, 2025, it strengthens our efforts to hold employers accountable when they misuse the H-1B visa program and ensures qualified American workers are not unfairly displaced.
Through Project Firewall, WHD enforces H-1B visa program requirements, prioritizing investigations where there are signs of displacements, inadequate recruitment of U.S. workers, or other abuses. This initiative helps ensure employers consider qualified U.S. workers first and follow the law when seeking to hire highly skilled foreign workers.
How Does Project Firewall Work?
Strengthened Enforcement: WHD prioritizes investigations where employers may be:
Displacing U.S. workers.
Failing to recruit U.S. workers in good faith.
Giving preference to H-1B workers when qualified U.S. workers are available.
Retaliating against workers who raise concerns about employers’ noncompliance.
Misrepresenting job duties, requirements, or working conditions.
Protecting U.S. Workers: WHD enforces legal protections designed to ensure U.S. workers are not adversely affected by H-1B program misuse. When violations are found, WHD may recover back wages, assess civil money penalties, and/or impose debarment from the H-1B program and other visa programs.
Holding Employers Accountable: Project Firewall supports targeted, data-driven enforcement efforts and increases employer compliance through outreach, education and collaboration with other federal agencies.
Violations and Getting Help
What Happens When Violations Are Found?
When employers violate H-1B visa program requirements, WHD may:
Recover back wages owed to workers.
Seek reimbursement of required fringe benefits.
Assess civil money penalties, depending on the type or severity of the violation.
Impose debarment, limiting an employer’s access to the H-1B visa program and certain other visa programs for at least one year.
How to Report a Violation
Report H-1B violations by submitting Form WH-4 to your nearest WHD office.
Report civil rights violations as a U.S. worker to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.
Report discrimination against American workers to the EEOC."
