The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the launch of Project Firewall, an H-1B enforcement initiative that will safeguard the rights, wages, and job opportunities of highly skilled American workers by ensuring employers prioritize qualified Americans when hiring workers and holding employers accountable if they abuse the H-1B visa process.

“The Trump Administration is standing by our commitment to end practices that leave Americans in the dust. As we reestablish economic dominance, we must protect our most valuable resource: the American worker. Launching Project Firewall will help us ensure no employers are abusing H-1B visas at the expense of our workforce,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer. “By rooting out fraud and abuse, the Department of Labor and our federal partners will ensure that highly skilled jobs go to Americans first.”

By contributing at least $30/month (or $360/year) to Free Republic you can be a member of the Free Republic Dollar-A-Day club.

"You can contribute any combination of monthly and/or one-time contributions to reach this goal."

Or you can be like marcus, and not contribute ANYTHING but spam, rooterspimpink and blogpimping to Free Republic!

Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $3k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we're gonna need a little prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.

i’d still like to see a site with all the H-1bs, job-reqs, and the amount paid to the client for the job.

Americans should be able to apply to interview for all such positions and if qualified, would take the position and the H-1b would be removed

[marcusmaximus]

Agree.

I wish they had named it Operation Farewell instead of Firewall.

20 years late for me. I had to train and steward several H1B's so the company I had accrued 22 years of tenure with could fire me and give my seat to an Indian.

They changed the employee/employer relationship at that moment and lost me in process. I took an internal position elsewhere in the company and I now have a "job" - an H1B took my career.

With a little luck, AI and the Firewall program kills the market for stupid Indians with zero skill-sets.
