🪪 Trump admin suspends Microsoft from green card program. Vice President JD Vance said yesterday that the administration is suspending the tech giant from a program that allows its employees with H-1B visas to apply for green cards. Vance accused Microsoft of replacing American workers “with what is effectively foreign indentured servants.” In a statement, Microsoft said most applications were for workers already legally in the US, and they only comprised 1% of its US workforce. Supporters of the H-1B program argue it boosts competitiveness and innovation by hiring workers in high-skill roles that would otherwise be difficult to fill. H-1Bs have long been a target of the Trump administration, which contends that they undercut American workers.—AE
