Trump's foreign worker crackdown comes for Microsoft, Adobe, IT firms

Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that he is suspending Microsoft, Adobe and several other IT firms' ability to hire foreign-born workers for permanent jobs in the U.S.Why it matters: The move will affect hundreds of companies owned by the tech giant, escalating the Trump administration's cracking down on immigrant labor. What they're saying: "We want people to invest in the United States of America, particularly the American technology sector," Vance said during a Thursday news conference. "We're the biggest boosters of your industry. We want you to continue to grow and to employ a lot of people, but we want you to employ American workers.""And so our message to Microsoft is, you're great American company, but you've got to hire great American workers. You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign indentured servants."This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
