US Vice President JD Vance, while announcing the suspension of the Permanent Labor Certification or PERM Program for IT majors said that companies cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with "foreign indentured servants."
America has suspended eight IT firms, including TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant and Microsoft, from the programme to apply for green cards for foreign workers, contending that the practice has shut out Americans from the job market.
