美国劳工部长基思·桑德林警告称，特朗普政府正在追查涉嫌滥用H-1B签证计划的公司，并表示联邦当局已对被指控通过外籍雇佣取代美国工人的企业展开民事和刑事调查。桑德林在X平台的一篇帖子中表示，美国劳工部（DOL）正与白宫欺诈特别工作组以及副总统JD·万斯合作，已对从IT外包公司到大型跨国企业的多家公司启动调查。桑德林说：“如果你滥用H-1B签证计划，你将承担责任。”
US Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling has warned that the Trump administration is pursuing companies suspected of abusing the H-1B visa program, saying federal authorities have launched civil and criminal investigations into businesses accused of displacing American workers through foreign hiring. In a post on X, Sonderling said the US Department of Labor (DOL), working with the White House Fraud Task Force and Vice President JD Vance, had launched investigations into companies ranging from IT outsourcing firms to major global corporations.“If you abuse the H-1B visa program, you will be held accountable,” Sonderling said.
在随其言论一起发布的视频中，劳工部长指责一些雇主要求美国员工在离职前培训他们的外国替代者，认为这种做法违背了特朗普总统优先考虑美国工人的承诺。Infosys表示绿卡暂停不会造成重大影响；印度人应知晓的信息：“我们已经对那些长期助长此类行为的公司启动了民事和刑事调查，”桑德林说。“美国工人必须培训他们的替代者”桑德林表示，一些美国员工被要求培训接替他们岗位的外国员工，包括在外包相关的岗位转岗过程中。
In a video accompanying his remarks, the labor secretary accused some employers of requiring American employees to train their foreign replacements before leaving their jobs, arguing that such practices ran counter to President Donald Trump's pledge to prioritize US workers. Infosys says green card suspension will have no material impact; what Indians should know“We've started civil and criminal investigations against the companies that have been enabling this behavior for a very long time,” Sonderling said.‘American workers have to train their replacements’Sonderling said some American employees had been required to train foreign workers taking over their positions, including during outsourcing-related job transitions.“Sometimes our workers actually have to go through the indignity of training their replacements,” he said.
“有时我们的工人实际上不得不经历培训自己替代者的屈辱，”他说。他指控一些公司歪曲工人的资历和技能以获取移民福利，这可能使同样具备资格的美国人处于不利地位。“我们将全面追查，因为我们希望他们雇佣美国人，”桑德林说，指的是大型IT外包企业和大型公司。特朗普官员为科技公司暂停辩护，称签证项目正在让美国人失去工作。
He alleged that some companies had misrepresented workers' qualifications and skills to secure immigration benefits, potentially disadvantaging Americans qualified for the same positions.“We're going after them all, because we want them to hire American,” Sonderling said, referring to large IT outsourcing businesses and major corporations.: Trump official defends tech firm suspensions, claims visa program is costing Americans jobsThe secretary also said the Labor Department was working to ensure American workers had access to jobs and the skills needed to compete for them.
部长还表示，劳工部正致力于确保美国工人能够获得工作机会和所需技能，以便在竞争中脱颖而出。这些指控本身尚未证明受审查的公司犯有欺诈或违法行为。微软、Adobe和IT公司面临绿卡限制。这些调查正值特朗普政府加强对使用外籍劳工项目的雇主的审查之际。10月8日，万斯宣布，由于对其招聘行为的调查，微软将被暂停参与永久劳工认证（PERM）计划。
The allegations have not, by themselves, established that the companies under scrutiny committed fraud or violated the law. Microsoft, Adobe and IT firms face green card restrictionsThe investigations come as the Trump administration steps up scrutiny of employers using foreign-worker programs. On October 8, Vance announced that Microsoft would be suspended from the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) program amid an investigation into its hiring practices.
劳工官员还宣布了影响Adobe和主要IT外包公司的停职措施。PERM是许多基于就业的绿卡申请中使用的劳工认证流程。这些停职措施限制了受影响公司通过此途径申请永久居留权担保的能力；但这并不构成对雇佣H-1B签证持有者的全面禁令。
Labor officials also announced suspensions affecting Adobe and major IT outsourcing companies.PERM is a labor certification process used in many employment-based green card applications. The suspensions restrict affected companies' ability to pursue permanent residency sponsorship through this route; they do not amount to a blanket ban on employing H-1B visa holders.
