Letter Opposing the Department of Labor’s High-Skilled Wage Rule

The American Immigration Council joined a letter expressing concerns about flaws in the Department of Labor’s Interim Final Rule, published and in effect on October 8, 2020, entitled “Strengthening Wage Protections for the Temporary and Permanent Employment of Certain Aliens in the United States.” The letter explains why the Interim Final Rule does not protect U.S. workers and directly interferes with an employer’s ability to obtain the H-1B workers it needs and outlines six reasons why the Interim Final Rule should be rescinded.
