Hany Girgis @ SanDiegoKnight X 🚨 #DOJ is ramping up investigations into companies that favor #foreign visa workers over #American #workers Good. But here’s the question nobody is asking: WHY ARE WE WAITING UNTIL the #PERM process begins? PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is the U.S. Department of Labor process that employers must complete to sponsor a foreign worker for an employment-based green card (typically EB-2 or EB-3). For most H-1B hiring, employers generally are NOT required to recruit American workers first Think about how backwards that is. A company can hire an H-1B worker WITHOUT first proving it couldn’t find a qualified American That worker can remain employed for years Then, when the employer eventually sponsors the worker for a green card through PERM, suddenly we care about recruiting Americans and testing the U.S. labor market. Why not do that BEFORE the H-1B worker is hired? Post the job. Disclose the salary. Interview qualified Americans. Document why they were rejected. Then, if you genuinely can’t find an American, sponsor the foreign worker. If H-1B really exists to fill jobs Americans can’t fill, proving that should happen on DAY ONE. Not years later during the green card process. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/doj-ramping-up-enforcement-for-hiring-bias-against-us-workers New Department of Labor data just dropped. Through FY2026 Q3, employers received certification for 830,710 foreign-worker positions under the H-1B/H-1B1/E-3 LCA program. And look where they’re going: • 241,846 Software Developers • 62,170 Electronics Engineers • 30,973 Data Scientists • 28,058 IT Project Managers • 24,743 Software QA Analysts & Testers Software developers alone account for 29.1% of every certified position.
