“Project Firewall” was unveiled Friday, with Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer explaining that it will root out “fraud and abuse” of H-1B visas to verify that highly skilled jobs go to Americans first.”
“The Trump Administration is standing by our commitment to end practices that leave Americans in the dust. {snip}” Chavez-DeRemer said in a press release. “By rooting out fraud and abuse, the Department of Labor and our federal partners will ensure that highly skilled jobs go to Americans first.”
