美国劳工部已暂停 Infosys、TCS、Wipro 和 HCL 等全球最大的 IT 外包公司参与永久劳工认证计划（PERM），指责这些公司滥用外国劳工寻求永久居留的系统。
The US Department of Labor has suspended some of the world’s largest IT outsourcing firms, including Infosys, TCS, Wipro and HCL, from the Permanent Labor Certification Program, accusing companies of abusing the system for foreign workers seeking permanent residency.
美国劳工部长基思·桑德林（Keith Sonderling）宣布了针对高知特（Cognizant）、Infosys、塔塔（Tata）、Wipro、HCL 和凯捷（Capgemini）的行动，同时以多项正在进行的联邦调查为由，暂停了微软和 Adobe 参与该计划的资格。
US Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling announced the action against Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini, while also suspending Microsoft and Adobe from the programme, citing multiple active federal investigations.
桑德林说：“不幸的是，在美国，没有任何一家公司比微软对这一系统的滥用更严重。”
“There has been no company in the United States, unfortunately, that has abused this system more than Microsoft,” Sonderling said.
美国副总统万斯（JD Vance）表示，微软在证明找不到合格美国员工后，于 2025 年裁掉了 6000 名美国员工，却获批了 6000 多个 H-1B 签证并提交了 3682 份 PERM 申请。他说，其中近 1000 份申请是针对刚刚被裁美国员工的同一岗位。
US Vice President JD Vance said Microsoft laid off 6,000 American workers in 2025 after certifying that it could not find qualified American employees, yet was approved for more than 6,000 H-1B visas and filed 3,682 PERM applications. He said nearly 1,000 of those applications were for the same positions from which American workers had been laid off.
万斯表示，H-1B 签证计划旨在允许公司从美国境外引进“精英中的精英”来填补美国员工无法胜任的职位，但他指控该计划已经“充斥着欺诈”。
Vance said the H-1B visa programme was intended to allow companies to bring in “the best of the best” from outside the US for positions that could not be filled by American workers, but alleged that the programme had become “rife with fraud”.
劳工部的行动还扩大到了包括哈佛大学、耶鲁大学和斯坦福大学在内的九所大学。桑德林表示，将对这些大学涉嫌引入国际学生来压低美国工资的行为进行调查。
The Labour Department's action also extends to nine universities, including Harvard, Yale and Stanford, which Sonderling said would be investigated over allegations that they brought in international students to undercut American wages.
劳工部总监察长安东尼·德斯波西托（Anthony D’Esposito）表示，传票已经送达。微软未立即回应置评请求。
Labor Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito said subpoenas had already been served. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
