美国劳工部监察长安东尼·D’Esposito表示，科技公司将H-1B签证项目作为一种商业模式来取代美国工人，为特朗普政府暂停多家公司参与基于就业的绿卡流程的决定进行辩护。他在X平台上分享的一段视频中指出，雇主应仅将外国工人视为临时措施，在寻找合格的美国候选人期间使用，坚持认为美国毕业生具备填补技术岗位的能力。
US Department of Labor Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito said that technology companies use the H-1B visa program as a business model to replace American workers, defending the Trump administration’s decision to suspend several companies from the employment-based green card process. Speaking in a video shared on X, D’Esposito argued that employers should hire foreign workers only as a temporary measure while looking for qualified American candidates, insisting that US graduates were available to fill skilled positions.“This is not a business model,” D’Esposito said.
“这不是一种商业模式，”D’Esposito说。“他们把H-1B作为商业模式来使用，这是错误的。他们正在把美国人的工作从美国工人那里抢走。”他的言论正值美国对依赖外籍专业人士填补技术及其他专业岗位的雇主的审查日益加剧之际。
“They are using the H-1B as a business model, and that's wrong. They're taking American jobs away from American workers.”

“这对他们来说只是一个临时机会，用来安置工人，直到他们找到有才华的美国人，”他说，并补充道，“有大量正在寻找工作的学校和大学毕业生。”
这些言论紧随特朗普政府暂停微软、Adobe以及六家主要信息技术公司参与永久劳工认证（PERM）项目的举措之后——该项目是为外籍员工申请基于就业的绿卡的关键步骤。

受影响的公司包括科诺桑特、印孚瑟斯、塔塔咨询服务、威协、HCL技术和卡佩杰米。该行动由副总统JD·万斯和劳工部长基思·桑德林于10月8日宣布。PERM项目与H-1B签证项目是分离的。
The affected companies include Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Capgemini. The action was announced by Vice President JD Vance and Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling on October 8.PERM is separate from the H-1B visa program.

It generally requires employers sponsoring foreign workers for certain employment-based green cards to obtain labor certification from the Department of Labor. The suspensions concern the companies’ participation in this process, rather than a blanket ban on their H-1B visas.

“他确保了美国的前门，而我们现在正与他以及副总统万斯一起，致力于守住后门，”他说，指的是据称通过不正当途径寻求公民身份的人。此举也引发了对依赖国际招聘来填补专业岗位的科技公司的质疑。虽然政府表示其措施旨在保护美国工人，但雇主认为外籍专业人士对其运营仍然至关重要。
The action also raises questions for technology companies that depend on international recruitment to fill specialized positions. While the administration says its measures are intended to protect American workers, employers maintain that foreign professionals remain important to their operations.
