Trump Administration Increases Enforcement on Foreign Worker Visa Hiring Practices
The Trump administration has intensified scrutiny on US employers' use of foreign worker visa programs, including H-1B, H-2A, J-1, OPT, and PERM processes. Officials allege some companies prefer cheaper foreign labor over American workers, potentially violating employment laws. Meanwhile, a federal judge blocked a Trump-era rule that lowered wages for H-2A agricultural workers, requiring a new wage formula to protect US and foreign workers' pay. The administration signals broader enforcement involving multiple agencies to ensure fair hiring practices.
