Per the article, "In Wake of Free Beacon Report, Trump Administration To Investigate Federal Contractors That Say They Won’t Hire US Citizens" from the Washington Free Beacon, the contractors were ... wait for it ... all IT firms.
The Free Beacon reported last week that the IT staffing firms LanceSoft and Tekgence had posted job advertisements indicating that "USC," or U.S. citizens, were not eligible for certain roles. Both companies have contracts with federal agencies, according to the GSA’s database of active technology vendors.
Though the GSA does not list the value of either contract, another IT firm, ARK Solutions, has received more than $11 million in government subcontracts since 2023, according to the analytics firm Higher Gov. ARK Solutions has posted multiple job ads that say "No USC," including one for a project in the state of Georgia.
The federal government will be reviewing its relationships with all three companies, as well as a fourth, InfiCare, where a recruiter stated in February that a programming job was open to "H1b only," a reference to H-1B visa holders. Those visas are granted to immigrants in specialized fields such as tech and medicine.
It seems to me that the H1B program is really a program designed to freeze Americans out of certain fields.
