Trump administration for cherry-picking best talent under H-1B visa; to ensure work permits not to harm Americans

Firstpost  

No qualified hardworking American should be forced to train their H-1B replacement, and then let go," Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said. Washington: The US should select the “very best” among the applicants under the H-1B visas, the Trump administration told lawmakers on Thursday, asserting that it was determined to ensure that the temporary work permits, most sought by Indian IT companies, do not harm domestic workers. The Trump administration has stepped up its measures to detect employment-based visa fraud and abuse, but certain nonimmigrant visa programmes need reform in order to protect American workers better, she said. “While current law only requires it for certain employers, which are few in number and can easily meet the wage and degree exemption, all employers should be required to certify that they have made a good faith effort to recruit US workers before filing an H-1B petition, and have offered jobs to qualified and available American applicants,” Nielsen said. As per US President Donald Trump’s ‘Buy American, Hire American Executive Order, the Department of Homeland Security is reviewing current guidance and regulation for opportunities to protect American workers while also providing good faith employers the opportunity to recruit H-1B workers where needed.
