6月22日特朗普发布行政命令,暂停了一系列非移民签证项目,包括高技能职业的H-1B签证、非农业工人的H-2B签证,以及公司内部调动的L-1签证等多种非移民签证,引发轩然大波。当时我们写文章分析过, 也多次强调:
根据福布斯报道,7月15日,174名印度人(包括7个未成年子女)率先在美国哥伦比亚特区联邦法院提起诉讼,质疑特朗普“暂停颁发H-1B签证”的行政命令是非法的,要求法院对此作出初步禁令。美国几家大型商业集团紧跟其后,7月22日在旧金山的联邦法院提起了另一项诉讼,状告特朗普的移民签证禁令对“众多美国企业造成了严重的经济伤害”,原告包括美国商会 (the US Chamber of Commerce),全国制造商协会 (National Association of Manufacturers),以及全国零售商联合会 (the National Retail Federation)。
这两个诉讼都在不断向前推进中。上周五,22个州和哥伦比亚特区联合向美国哥伦比亚特区联邦法院(印度人组织的那起案件)提交了一份简报,站在了华府的对立面,其中引用了经济研究称“移民能够创造就业、促进经济增长,同时还能通过提供托儿服务和其他形式的照料,支持美国居民的工作...(该禁令)也将扰乱许多对应对COVID-19危机至关重要的行业,比如医疗、科学和技术。“
据彭博社最新报道,在这周一,科技公司们也加入了起诉的队伍,其中包括全美最大的几家科技公司:Apple, Facebook, Amazon和Microsoft,他们称特朗普的移民签证禁令对企业和国家经济造成了“不可弥补的伤害“。
目前,有52家公司分别提出了类似的请求,希望特朗普的移民签证禁令被撤回。其中,参与了加州旧金山联邦法院的案件(美国商会起诉的那起案件)的有Adobe公司、GitHub公司、英特尔公司和微软公司。"总统暂停非移民签证项目,据说是为了'保护'美国工人,但实际上损害了这些工人、他们的雇主和经济。该禁令非但没有保护国内工人免受外国竞争的威胁,反而阻碍了企业们需要在国外招聘以填补高技能职位空缺的确实需要,美国对于这些职位的需求远远超过现有本土工人的供应,"这些科技公司在申诉中说。另外,谷歌、Spotify美国公司和彭博社LP提交了一份请求,在寻求法院禁止特朗普行政命令中出了一份力。
Several of nation’s largest tech companies -- including Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft -- are the latest to join the court battle against President Donald Trump’s ban on new visas for temporary foreign workers. The group asked a court Monday to be allowed to add the industry’s voice to a lawsuit opposing the ban, saying it’s causing “irreparable harm on businesses and the nation’s economy.” Trump issued a proclamation on June 22 that suspends a host of non-immigrant visa programs, including H-1B visas for high-skill specialty occupations, H-2B visas for nonagricultural workers, and L-1 visas for intra-company transfers. Industry associations, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, sued last month to block Trump’s policy. On Friday, 22 states and the District of Columbia filed a brief opposing the administration’s position in the Washington case.
Among the other tech companies seeking weigh into the federal court case in Oakland, California, are Adobe Inc., GitHub Inc. Intel Corp, and Microsoft Corp. The 52 companies separately filed a similar request in a challenge to Trump’s actions pending in Washington. “The president’s suspension of nonimmigrant visa programs, supposedly to ‘protect’ American workers, actually harms those workers, their employers, and the economy,” the group said in its friend-of-the-court filing. “Rather than shielding domestic workers from the threat of foreign competition, the proclamation all but ensures that firms will need to hire abroad to fill highly-skilled positions, for which the domestic demand far exceeds the available supply of workers.” Separately, Google, Spotify USA Inc. and Bloomberg LP submitted a request to add their support for a court order blocking Trump’s policy.
