‘I care about American jobs’: JD Vance reiterates reindustrialization push as Trump govt tightens green-card process
JD Vance said reindustrialization is important because it supports American jobs, as the Trump administration intensifies scrutiny of foreign-worker programs.
Vice President JD Vance has emphasized his commitment to protecting American jobs and reindustrialization as the Trump administration tightens its green-card process. In a recent post on X, Vance stated, "I care about American jobs," highlighting the connection between his support for reindustrialization and the employment opportunities for US workers.
The administration is intensifying its efforts to scrutinize how companies hire foreign workers and sponsor them for permanent residency, with restrictions now affecting green-card processing through the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) program for eight major companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, and Infosys. Vance has previously criticized tech firms for relying on foreign workers and questioned the relationship between temporary work visas and employment-based green cards.
The administration's green-card restrictions stem from concerns about American workers' employment prospects, wages, and access to jobs. While the H-1B visa program remains unaffected, PERM, a crucial step for employer-sponsored green cards, could face delays or complications for workers whose applications depend on employer-certification.
The administration is also investigating nine universities for potential misuse of J-1 exchange-visitor visas and forming a visa-fraud strike team to investigate suspected abuses of foreign-labor programs.
