The US government bans big tech firms from an important program. The program is the Perm-Program. With this program, foreign experts get a permanent stay permit.
Vice President JD Vance accuses the firms of fraud. He says: The firms fire workers from the USA. Then they hire cheaper workers from abroad. This lowers wages in the USA. Microsoft and Adobe face this ban.
Other firms like Capgemini or Tata can also not use the program. The government also checks 9 famous universities. These include Harvard, Yale and Stanford. They also misuse the visa system.
Labor Minister Keith Sonderling stops all new requests from these firms. Microsoft hired many workers via H-1B-Visa in the year 2026. At the same time, the firm fired thousands of people in the USA. The government wants firms to hire more people from the USA.
