In before Gump.
How can someone complain to labor dept if they never get hired or even given an interview?
This is a Gump free zone.
How about an Indian travel ban?
“A month later, the program’s impact is already being felt—not through formal prosecutions, but through the quiet compliance panic spreading across U.S. companies that depend on high-skilled foreign talent.”
No need for American companies to rely on high-skilled foreign talent. There are plenty of Americans who can do the job. Unfortunately, American colleges have graduated a bunch of melon heads. I wouldn’t hire anyone under the age of 35, and I wouldn’t hire ivy league graduates with the exception.
Great news. I have no doubt firms will outsource some functions overseas but I think that is going to be a good bit more limited than some claim. They already tried this in the 90s and had to bring a lot of functions back because the quality of the work they got from India was so crappy. They wanted direct oversight and control - so they started importing the cheap foreign labor instead. Now that option is effectively gone.
We may need to think about some kind of tariff or fee or unfavorable tax treatment for offshoring services. American companies doing business in America need to be overwhelmingly employing Americans.
This is all smoke and mirrors. The new “reforms” are virtually toothless. A one time $100k fee enacted 3 years from now will do nothing to stop importing this 3rd world trash.
“Legal analysts also caution that the exact standards for “credible source” tips and secretary certification remain unclear, leaving employers uncertain about when and how investigations might be triggered.”
so what? they have nothing to worry about IF they’re NOT breaking the law ....
Now maybe it won’t take me 8 months to find another software engineering job at age 61 despite a stellar resume’.

Let’s stop the outsourcing of customer service to India also!! Can’t understand the reps and are no help a lot of times. Plus they have our information which I don’t like.
Trump needs to do the same with those offshoring jobs. Many of the jobs being lost to AI are actually just being off-shored.
New H-1B Visa Crackdown Is Already Positively Reshaping the US Jobs Market
Fixed.
Far past time to stop this job-stealing program that Trump himself has said is corrupt and abused:
"I remain totally committed to ending widespread rampant H-1b abuse..I will end forever the use of H-1b as a cheap labor program"
