US Task Force to eliminate Fraud: pro American Worker

During a White House press conference on October 8, 2026, Vice President JD Vance announced a sweeping federal crackdown on the H-1B visa and permanent residency processes. Acting as the head of the administration's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Vance declared that the H-1B system has become "rife with fraud". He alleged that major corporations are misusing the program to replace qualified domestic workers with lower-paid foreign professionals.

  1. Indefinite Green Card Program (PERM) Freezes

The most immediate action Vance and Labor Secretary unveiled was the indefinite suspension of 8 major tech and IT corporations from the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) program. This penalty halts both new and pending green card applications for employees at:
• Microsoft (which Vance singled out as the "biggest abuser", claiming they laid off 6,000 U.S. citizens while utilizing 6,300 H-1B visas and 3,000 green cards)
• Adobe
• Wipro, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Cognizant, HCL Technologies, and Capgemini

I imagine anyone working with these frozen companies will suffer similar repercussions… and rightfully should be held accountable.

God, Americans are so misinformed and are being fed low hanging fruits to keep them hooked.

Primer - US hands out about a million odd green cards a year. Year after year. Different categories make up that million - asylum, refugee, U (violence) visas, family, employment etc. Now guess the number of employment based visas that are issued every year to applicants across the worldvia H1B? 140k. Yes. 140k. Guess the number of family based visas handed out with no check and balance for skillset, ability to sustain and make an independent income in the US etc....800k. That's right. Sometimes a little more. Each of the 140k in employment has been paying into the system for years, has to have a job etc. to even qualify. No such check and balance exists for any of the other 800k
In addition, the US also hands out 50k lottery visas every year in the name of diversity. Indians and Chinese cannot participate in this program. Anyone living or working in NYC will know the majority of these 50k beneficiaries - food carts, yellow cab drivers, airport luggage skycaps and ther likes. Don't pay a farthing in taxes, but get huge benefits paid for by others

Now let's take the H2 visa....cap keeps getting increased. Why? Mar a Lago employs them by the dozen. All R's vote to increase caps every year. No one complains then..then these people turn around and demonize a handful because it's far easier to go after lo hanging fruit than to fix the bigger issues above. To mention nothing of the fentanyl and border crossing cartels

But keep at it...stop the 140k every year and see if that fixes issues.

I am mostly republican and wrote my D fed lawmakers to tariff difference if U S pay and India pay. Basically agree with Trump tariffs in this matter. It actually is getting traction.

Takes a couple minutes so anyone thinking of responding to me “waste of time” takes about sane time as writing lawmakers.

Search “who represents me” fill out address and done.

No down side. Everything to gain nothing to lose (except 5 minutes)

Meh. This will just make offshoring more jobs to India cheaper. Write your Democrat lawmakers to make a Trump style wage tariff for offshore job replacement. Takes less time to do this than to post here.

Does the GCC get around this? I'm guessing it does and the MC won't stop sc--wing over it's American employees by replacing them with off shore.
