The Department of Labor has significantly ramped up its oversight of the H-1B visa program, launching more than 175 investigations into potential abuse. The focus is on preventing the program, which allows companies to hire foreign experts in specialized areas, from being used to undercut American workers. A new campaign by the DOL explicitly targets firms accused of replacing younger American employees with cheaper foreign labor, particularly highlighting India as a major beneficiary of the visa scheme. This series of investigations represents a major enforcement push aimed at ensuring fair competition and protecting domestic employment.
