And yet another action by the SOB that isn't in the interests of Americans.
At this rate of one disastrous decision after another someone needs to declare the Biden Administration a national disaster.
All you idiot Biden voters, here he is again doing something the doesn't benefit the American people.
Former President Donald Trump had frozen "green cards" for new immigrants and halted temporary work visas for skilled workers, managers and au pairs in the H-1B, H-4, H-2B, L-1 and J categories, he said to protect jobs. He argued that the dramatic clampdown on legal immigration was vital to safeguarding the U.S. labor market during the pandemic.
...
American tech companies use H-1B visas, which have long been considered controversial, to hire highly skilled workers outside of the nation's borders, including engineers, IT specialists and architects. Their justification is that the companies claim there is a shortage of U.S.-resident talent. The visas are good for three years and can be renewed for a second three-year term. Prior to the shutdown, about 65,000 of the visas were issued each year.
Critics say they serve as loopholes for businesses seeking to undercut American salaries because companies can pay foreign workers less.
The halt was first enacted by Trump in June as an extension of the 2017 "Buy American, Hire American" executive order and was twice extended amid significant opposition from business groups. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Associations of Manufacturers both filed lawsuits against the administration saying the policy was detrimental to the country's economic interests.
