US bars Microsoft from employee-based green card program

The Trump administration has suspended Microsoft, Adobe and other major IT firms from a green card program that allows skilled foreign workers to gain permanent residency in the United States. US Vice President JD Vance said that as a "great American company," Microsoft needs to hire "great American workers." Vance also alleged that American workers were being replaced by "foreign indentured servants." India, which has several large IT firms and other tech companies included in the suspension from this program, has accused Vance of using "terminology that carries painful historical and colonial legacy connotations," which was "deeply offensive." Under the Permanent Labor Certification program (PERM), employers seek certification from the Department of Labor that there is no qualified, willing or available US worker for a specific job, before filing petitions for an employment-based green card. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
