What happened
Vice President JD Vance continues to champion the government's move to suspend leading tech companies from the green card program. He reiterated this stance while responding to Congresswoman Pramila Jaypal. Jaypal criticized the move, stating it weakens legal immigration and the US ability to innovate. She argued that the PERM program is a clear process that benefits the economy.

Why it matters
The policy targets legal pathways for immigrants, particularly in the tech sector. Congresswoman Jaypal noted that the US economy depends on immigrants in many sectors, including technology, and that heavy-handed attacks hurt efforts to build a strong base.
IT firms, including Infosys and Capgemini, were suspended from the PERM program amid labor policy changes, and the Trump administration blocked Adobe from green cards.
