The Trump administration just froze the green-card pipeline for Microsoft, Adobe, and the big Indian outsourcing shops. Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said the department will not accept new Permanent Labor Certification applications (PERM, the paperwork companies file to claim no American can do the job) and will stop processing pending ones for Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini. PERM no more, at least not for them.

Vice President JD Vance used Microsoft as the poster child. The company laid off about 6,000 American workers last year while picking up roughly 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards. His line: for every American Microsoft cut, it replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants. The suspensions follow the $100,000 H-1B fee and sit inside Project Firewall, which has already opened about 200 cases.

At the same press conference, Labor Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito opened a J-1 probe into nine elite schools, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, and Caltech. His warning: “I don’t care how prestigious a university thinks it is, break the law and screw the American people, and I will personally cuff you in the university square.” The cuffs, he said, are coming.
