Jan. 2, 2020, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to AT&T abuse of the H-1B program:
“AT&T enriches itself on public spectrum, and yet they’re going after American tech workers by forcing them to train their H-1B replacements. This is unacceptable. The H-1B program is completely broken and must be disbanded, as it is not addressing shortages in job markets, it is supplanting qualified Americans. It is particularly ironic that AT&T is engaged in this blatant abuse of American workers while they are dependent on publicly owned spectrum in order to build their 5G network. If any company should be a good corporate citizen it is AT&T and yet this is just one example of the failure of that entity to act responsibly. The FCC should investigate whether AT&T is meeting their responsibilities under the recent AT&T-Time Warner merger and should be blocked from additional spectrum purchases based on their egregious abuse of immigration laws.”
