Luke Farley, the Labor Commissioner of North Carolina, has publicly backed a federal proposal to increase the minimum wages for employers hiring foreign workers under the H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 visa programs. He expressed concern that these visa programs harm American workers by driving down wages. In a statement, Farley emphasized that H-1B visas take jobs away from American and North Carolina workers. He recently submitted official comments in support of the new rule proposed by the Trump Administration, which aims to ensure that H-1B visa holders do not undercut wages for American workers. This move reflects ongoing debates about the impact of foreign labor on the domestic job market.
