Donald Trump bans H-1B technology workers from federal government contracts

特朗普禁止联邦机构雇佣持H-1B签证的技术工人

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that bans technology workers on H-1B visas from replacing American citizens in federal government contracts. The order will ensure that Federal agencies prioritise hiring American workers and not people on an H-1B visa.

周一，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署了一项行政命令，禁止联邦机构雇佣持有H-1B签证的技术人员。该命令将确保联邦机构优先雇用美国工人，而非H-1B签证持有者。

“We believe jobs must be offered to American workers first,” Donald Trump said in a statement. -

唐纳德·特朗普在一份声明中表示:“我们认为必须首先为美国工人提供就业机会。”

The order mandated all federal agencies to carry out an internal audit to assess whether they are in compliance with the requirement of appointing only US citizens and nationals to competitive service. The Department of Labor will also finalise a guidance to prevent H-1B employers from moving H-1B workers to other employer’s job sites to displace American workers.

该命令要求所有联邦机构进行内部审计，以评估它们是否符合在竞争性服务岗位只雇佣美国公民的要求。劳工部还将敲定一项指导意见，防止H-1B签证的雇主将H-1B签证的员工转移到其他雇主的工作地点，以取代美国员工。

Trump’s decision to ban workers on H-1B visas comes after the federally-owned Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) said that it will outsource 20 percent of its technology jobs to companies based in foreign countries. Around 200 American workers were to lose their jobs over the next five years, said the order.

在特朗普决定颁布禁令之前，联邦政府所下属的田纳西河流域管理局（TVA）表示，将把20%的技术工作外包给设在外国的公司，在未来五年内，大约有200名美国工人将因此失去工作。

French technology major Capgemini, Accenture and CGI had won the contract from TVA, according to the employees union of TVA.

TVA的员工工会表示，法国科技巨头凯捷、埃森哲和CGI从TVA获得了这份合同。

A Bloomberg analysis of Department of Labor data showed that in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, over 2,000 H-1B visa holders were employed by federal agencies.

彭博社对劳工部数据的分析显示，在2019财年的前9个月，联邦机构雇佣了2000多名H-1B签证持有者。

The order said that outsourcing IT jobs involving handling sensitive information would also pose a national risk in the current climate of intellectual property theft.

该命令称，在当前知识产权盗窃的环境下，外包涉及处理敏感信息的IT工作也将对国家构成风险。

“Outsourcing hundreds of workers is especially detrimental in the middle of a pandemic, which has already cost millions of Americans their jobs,” it said.

该命令称:“在新冠疫情期间，将工作岗位外包尤其有害，这已经让数百万美国人失去了工作。”

Over the last few months, the Trump administration has taken several steps towards protecting American jobs by suspending the H-1B, L-1 and J-1 visas till the end of the year.

在过去几个月里，特朗普政府采取了一些措施来保护美国人的就业岗位，暂停H-1B、L-1和J-1签证至今年年底。

Donald Trump, who is facing elections for his second term in November, in June suspended H-1B and L-1 visas that were used by technology workers till December stating that it would help in providing local jobs amidst the economic crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic.

今年6月唐纳德·特朗普暂停了技术工人所持的H-1B和L-1签证的签发，直至12月，称这将有助于在新冠疫情造成的经济危机期间为本国公民提供就业机会。特朗普将在11月迎来连任选举。

Good. send greedy beggar Indians back.

做得好，把贪婪的印度乞丐赶回去。

Senthil Kumar

Why cant govt improve private job scenario in india? Private co. shud be given all assistance since they provide bulk jobs to citizans.

为什么印度政府不能改善私企的就业状况?

我们应该支持私营公司，他们可以为公民提供大量工作岗位。

Kaushik Parekh

This is just to rile up GOP voter base to support the clown in 2020.

这只是为了拉拢共和党选民，让他们在2020年大选中支持特朗普。

nish pha

No problem , Sir ! ... Soon there will be a NEED for Rule of Exceptions ... for Indian Techies ! :)

没事，他们很快会为印度技术人员制定例外条款，

Abhineswar Jena

Crores in India are jobless and some idiots are commenting that all those who lost their Visa to come back to India and serve here.

数千万印度人失业，一些白痴却评论说，让所有失去签证的人回印度工作。

Why do we Indians and Indian newspapers get agitated when American government takes any action on H1-b visas?

Like india did with recent new licensing requirements on imports, America has every right to come up with regulations on what is good for America. Be it H1-b visas or any other thing.

Instead of develo our own country like did to their country, why do we Indians go around developed western nations pleading for their h1-b visas, permanent residencies/green cards and passport/citizenships?

It is time for us to stop all this begging for other country visa and passports, introspect ourselves and do something to develop our own country.

为什么当美国政府对H1-b签证采取任何行动时，我们印度人和印度报纸就会变得焦躁不安?

就像印度最近出台了新的进口许可要求一样，美国完全有权利制定对自己有利的法规，不管是H1-b签证还是其他签证。

为什么我们印度人要到西方发达国家去申请h1-b签证、永久居留/绿卡、护照/公民身份?

为什么不像那样发展自己的国家？

以后别乞求其他国家的签证和护照了，是时候反省自己，为发展自己的国家做点什么了。

This is just his attempt to improve US bad unemployment numbers before the elections.

特朗普这么做只是试图在大选前改善美国糟糕的失业数据。

Kaushik Parekh

Nope .. this is hogwash to appeal to his vote bank. There won't be any additional impact for H1B since they are not eligible to work on Federal contracts.

他这是在拉拢选民。对H1B持有者没有影响，因为他们没有资格在联邦机构工作。

Paul Henry

Congratulations. Send all of them out. Hopefully, our PM will soon deny them entry to India. All those who chose to leave their mother land, should end up nomads!

做得好，把H1B持有者都赶出去。希望我们的总理能阻止他们回国。所有选择离开祖国的人就该去当流浪者。

magicsaint

It is individuals right to choose where they want to work and make a good living. There are no such laws or rules where one should put their country first. US does offer better pay and lifestyle than India. So do not get so happy, this ban will soon reverse maybe in next few months or after when Trump is beaten by Biden.

每个人都有权选择在哪里工作，过上好日子。没有法律或规则规定必须把自己的国家放在第一位。

美国确实提供比印度更高的工资和生活水平。这条禁令很快就会被撤销，可能在未来几个月或者在特朗普被拜登击败之后。

Anoop Aggarwal

This should have only been applicable to , Pakistanis and North koreans.

要是只适用于、巴基斯坦人和朝鲜人就好了。

Bear in mind that there are many in IT sector in US who work on H1B. Kee them away from federal work is justified.

请记住，很多持H1B签证的在美国IT行业工作。禁止他们从事联邦政府工作是合理的。
