Vance says 9 universities will be investigated over foreign visas
Vance said the universities used the J-1 program to undercut American wages, and investigators will also examine visa fraud.
- On Thursday, Vice President JD Vance announced the Trump administration will investigate 9 universities—Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburgh, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT—over J-1 visa program exploitation.
- Vance argued these institutions utilize foreign students to "undercut the wages of American residents," claiming corporations exploit the system to replace American workers while maximizing profits.
- While targeting these visa programs, Vance defended tech CEO Elon Musk as a "positive example" of a foreign student, noting investigations will focus on whether individuals possess the "special set of skills" required to fill positions Americans cannot.
- Vance criticized Microsoft for replacing 6,000 American workers with 6,300 H-1B visa holders, announcing a temporary sponsorship suspension despite President Trump preparing to award Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.
- This investigation marks an escalation in the Trump administration's broader crackdown on visa programs, which officials claim are displacing domestic researchers despite ongoing criticism regarding the economic impact of these restrictive policies.
