Trump Fact Sheet: H-1B Workers In Increased Layoffs Risk!

American president Donald Trump built his campaign on the notion of making America great again, and he is out on the mission of prioritising American population over the immigration communities.

Now the United States president is going particularly hard against the H1B work permit visa program and he appears to be a man on a mission at this point in time. Related fact sheet that has been released by the White House is indicating the same.

Today, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order and a Proclamation to continue to protect American national and economic security and American workers from abuses of the H-1B visa program. This is an extension of the $100,000 fee imposed for new H-1B applicants.

The Order enhances program integrity in the H-1B visa program by improving interagency coordination and directing enhanced scrutiny of H-1B visa applications where there is a heightened risk that American workers would be laid off.

This would essentially mean that corporate companies will have to priority American people over foreign labour in the job environment. This puts the H1B population at increased risk during the layoffs.

The Order directs the Secretary of State to receive additional data for the administration of the H-1B program, such as data on wages, industrial conditions, and employment specialization.

The Order directs the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Labor, and the Secretary of Homeland Security to consider petitioner employers’ recent or planned layoffs of similarly situated U.S. workers when considering H-1B visa applications.

This could be a significant to belong to the Indian population in the United States that is currently surviving on H1B visa as things aren’t looking promising now.
