Companies that prefer migrants and H-1B visa workers over Americans will face federal investigations and discrimination lawsuits, says Andrea Lucas, who President Donald Trump picked to serve as acting chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
“The EEOC is putting employers and other covered entities on notice: if you are part of the pipeline contributing to our immigration crisis or abusing our legal immigration system via illegal preferences against American workers, you must stop,” Lucas said in a February 20 notice.
“The law applies to you, and you are not above the law. The EEOC is here to protect all workers from unlawful national origin discrimination, including American workers,” she added.
“Guardedly optimistic,” civil rights lawyer John Miano responded after Breitbart News asked for his assessment.
If the EEOC follows through, it could force companies to curb their hiring of migrants over Americans, said Miano, who is now suing more than 30 Chicago companies for advertising jobs to foreign H-1B workers, but not to Americans.

When we have restaurants advertising for H-1B workers to fill server or cook positions, then you know they are scamming the system to pay lower wages.
@VBierschwale & @amandalouise416 on X have plenty of information on the #h1b / #opt / #perm scam.
Why wasn’t this done in the 90s?
One of the first revisions needed for ALL “Temporary worker/Student” visas is that they do NOT get to bring in wives, girlfriends/boyfriends or family of any kind.
Temporary work is not to be an end run for permanent residency!
“Why wasn’t this done in the 90s?”
Because Trump wasn’t President.

Andrea Lucas, acting chair of the EEOC. “The EEOC is putting employers and other covered entities on notice: if you are part of the pipeline contributing to our immigration crisis or abusing our legal immigration system via hiring preferences——migrants and H-1B visa workers——against American workers, you must stop. The law applies to you; you are not above the law.”
Because we have the best government money can buy.
I actually read the H1-B legislation. Do you know that even if a determination is made that the visa was obtained fraudulently, it cannot be revoked?
The text was clearly written by tech industry lawyers and some sock-puppet members of Congress put it up for a vote.
Raleigh and suburbs are like being in India. Is this because Americans can’t c ode?
The H1B visa program should be cancelled.
Because it was only hurting American tech type workers.
This is music to my ears. I never thought I would see the day.
No the scam is they put restrictions on the job posting that anyone being honest can’t meet. A new language becomes popular and they request 5 years experience in it. The language has only been out 3 but the H1B miraculously have the 5 years. The employer claimed there were no locals meeting the request.
A good initial statement - now follow through, focusing on the semiconductor industry and the Silicon Valley in particular!
The individual responsible for AmEx IT Indianization did the same at Disney. He’s now at CVS. So, CVS is next to turn to shit.
We can stop all this tomorrow, just make E-Verify mandatory for all commercial business and NGOs.
One of the easiest fixes for this is to move to an auction instead of a lottery. Only the highest paid positions get the slots, forcing companies to actually need foreign labor to fill it, instead of paying less for an equally or more competent American worker.
great! Now do Age discrimination, where companies (they know who they are) routinely call a group of experienced workers who have achieved enough over the years to enrich the business and earn more for themselves are told that some “business restructuring” will be making their positions unnecessary while they hire in foreign nationals at a 3:1 ratio with 1/2 the pay to dismissed professionals with few thinking skills, scant real-world experience, zero intuition or people sense and work ethic. Oh yeah, their families and relatives all come.
Was told by insiders that they expected lower health costs with the changes but how can that happen once the whole village joins them. Also was told it was not “ageism” since they hired dozens of short-term, young interns then when they laid off legacy staff, the numbers were similar so VoiLa! no fault, no penalty. (epilog - will never go back to greedy tech/business jungle anyway. Turned out to be a Gift to me and family with a much smaller, leaner, appreciative mix of working opportunities, happy story)
