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.”

FREEPATHON Q4 2025!!
“Hey, marcus, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort of maintaining Free Republic so's you got a place to spam and troll, you know.”
Get a jump on Q4 and erase your freeploading deadbeatness. We'll understand, you freeploading deadbeat troll!
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
Agree.
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.
Thank GOD!!!!
This all depends on return to US manufacturing having an impact before dems find a new trajectory back into power.
The ONE factor missing thus far from this equation is a competent workforce.
The dems have totally succeeded in dumbing down the bulk of electorate and, consequently, the pool of available domestic labor (and brains); absent massive changes to education THIS YEAR - from K-12 all the way through community colleges and much of academia - there simply won’t be enough competent workers. I repeat: “Competent.”
I have grave reservations that this administration will address that factor, considering that they can’t even prosecute a SINGLE individual from the plandemic and the best that they can do to-date for ‘Russia collusion/coup’ is an indictment for lying to Congress.

My kids have been having trouble finding jobs as well, and they are VERY well educated, especially in math, and have a great work ethic.
My s-i-l has been looking for over a year, but hey, he’s a white guy.
The job my daughter got, which she was very qualified for, had hundreds of applicants. I can’t believe all of them are illiterate either. No doubt, some are. I’ve heard enough of people who are so full of themselves and overrate their value to the company in what they expect in compensation, so I know it’s true.
But the foreign worker market needs to be cut way back.
There’s simply no incentive for American kids to even try any more. Add that to the mix of destroying their education, it’s a recipe for disaster.
That said, I learned the hard way, through experience, that lack of high school math skills CAN BE overcome. I was a casualty of the *new math* generation and some teachers who were more interested in hitting on the pretty girls than teaching math, and ended up getting a degree in Meteorology which requires calculus. But it wasn’t until I homeschooled my own kids and used Saxon Math to teach them that I really learned the nuts and bolts of how math works and WHY.
It’s available on the internet for purchase, is not very expensive, comes with a textbook, teacher’s manual, test books, answer keys, the whole shebang. My daughter taught herself Calculus from the Saxon Calculus curriculum.
There are resources out there for people who really want to learn.
Indeed.
The journey begins with enlightenment:
There is more to the internet than tiktok, fb, instagram, x...all manner of social media.
Sadly, that's an impossible task for many these days.
Kudos on the math journey. I never progressed on the courses I purchased based upon needs at the time. Frankly, where I'm at now the skills/knowledge in that respect would have atrophied badly. But a sleeping interest in cryptography might change all of that...
Trouble is that the American worker in those jobs does not know basic math.
Microsoft did that to a friend of ours about year 2000.
