| Tech giants previously have run afoul of regulators for use of the
| PERM program. The Justice Department reached a $4.75 million
| settlement with Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. in 2021 over
| allegations that it had routinely reserved jobs for temporary visa
| holders through the PERM process without considering US workers.
|
| "Pausing new PERM applications isn't going to change much of
| anything because the pause will end when the layoff news cycle dies
| down," said Kevin Lynn, founder of US Tech Workers, a group that's
| critical of temporary visa programs. "Google is just taking
| precautionary measures because it doesn't want to incite any
| unwanted attention while it's laying off workers only to have it
| leaked to the public it's simultaneously ramping up PERM petitions."
Does Kellyanne Conway worry Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow
Ron DeSantis to use their bullhorn to outflank Trump from the right on
the National Question by calling for an immigration moratorium?
