Companies could face probes into their compliance with the H-1B visa program as part of the Trump Administration’s effort to clamp down on the program and force companies to hire more Americans.
The Department of Labor announced on Friday that it was launching Project Firewall, an “enforcement initiative” that will investigate employers for potential abuse of the H-1B visa process. The initiative may be the first time the federal government has sought to broadly enforce H-1B legal standards intended to protect both the H-1B employee and American workers, such as paying wages on par with other workers of similar qualifications or with the local prevailing wage and offering benefits on the same basis as for U.S. workers. Some employers are also required to have taken “good faith steps” to recruit American workers for the job before petitioning for H-1B status for an employee. Since the program began in 1990, suspected noncompliance has typically been investigated case-by-case based on complaints from workers.

“good faith steps” to recruit American workers
In late Sep and Oct I am getting 2 or 3 calls a day, 2 or 3 emails a day from Indian recruiters. In July and August it was less than that per month.
Some of these recruiters seem to be in India as the phone call delay is obvious. Many of these recruiters speak little or no English. I have worked beside many Indians in IT over many years. The English of these recruiters is much worse than that of those I have worked with.
Question: Are these current recruiters really seeking to place Americans? Or is it all a show and part of the show is to not speak English and thus not have Americans respond to their job offers to prove there are no American applicants?
Are you sure about that? The USCIS website says such a database does not exist, only generic job titles and salary ranges.
I voted for this.

It’s a charade like the whole hyper-specific job postings I started noticing in the early-to-mid 2000s.
What to know? I can answer that: arse, meet boot, boot, meet arse!
