加州联邦法院叫停移民局和劳工部关于H-1B 的两项新规

联邦法院再次叫停了移民局和劳工部关于H-1B 的两项新规:Strengthening the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program, 和 Strengthening Wage Protections for the Temporary and Permanent Employment of Certain Aliens in the United States。前一项事关加紧对H-1B 的审查,后一项则是已经影响了不少人的劳工部增加H-1B prevailing wage 的法令。法院认为他们的公布和实施都不符合APA(行政程序令),因此应该立即停止生效。

Flc Data Center 的数据暂时还没有回到2020年10月8日之前。但估计很快就会适用回之前的工资。

2020年也真是…各种变化各种见证历史了。

法院在其判决最后说道:

“The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the nation’s health, and millions of
Americans have been impacted financially by restrictions imposed on businesses, large and small, during the pandemic; the consequences of those restrictions has been a fiscal calamity for many individuals. However, ‘[t]he history of the United States is in part made of the stories, talents, and lasting contributions of those who crossed oceans and deserts to come here. The National Government has significant power to regulate immigration. With power comes responsibility, and the sound exercise of national power over immigration depends on the Nation’s meeting its responsibility to base its laws on a political will informed by searching, thoughtful, rational civic discourse.’ Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 416 (2012). ”

啊,有点感动。
