Dear Patriot,

On Friday, millions of Americans experienced something long overdue: recognition. In a presidential proclamation, the administration formally acknowledged what American workers have endured for decades, that the system is broken, Americans have been displaced, wages have been suppressed and corporations have broken the law to prioritize cheaper foreign labor.

For many, the acknowledgment was powerful. For the first time in years, workers felt hope.

That hope quickly gave way to disappointment as clarifications released afterward appeared to soften key provisions, including the $100,000 visa fee. While many initially believed the measure would finally level the playing field, it became clear the fee would apply only to new visas, leaving current abuses untouched. Online discussions reflected widespread anger and heartbreak from workers who had celebrated the proclamation only to feel abandoned by its limits.

The proclamation recognized the suffering of millions, but without enforcement or remedies it brought no relief. American workers remain trapped in a job market dominated by foreign students on Optional Practical Training (OPT) and H-1B pipelines that suppress wages and keep citizens sidelined.

In 2024, Amazon reported creating 18,644 new jobs while bringing in 27,151 foreign workers through H-1B, OPT, STEM OPT and CPT programs. That means 146 percent of the company’s so-called “new” jobs went to visa-dependent foreign workers, leaving Americans shut out.

It is precisely this kind of exploitation the proclamation acknowledged, yet because the measures announced do not touch existing visas or restore lost jobs, corporations can continue operating as if nothing has changed. For American workers, the abuse is recognized in words but not remedied in action.

While the proclamation deserves credit for exposing a truth no other administration has openly acknowledged, Americans are justified in asking: When will lost jobs be restored? When will wages taken through years of exploitation return to American households? And when will citizens finally be put first in their own country?

The proclamation was a milestone in naming abuse, but without action it remains unfinished. It gave hope but no path forward. For the worker laid off for the fourth or fifth time, once able to support a family, now forced to compete against foreign labor at a fraction of the wage, recognition alone cannot replace a job, an income, or dignity. That is where the heartbreak lies.

The America First Immigration Team remains hopeful that this administration can still deliver on the America First vision voters demanded. Until then, we are committed to advancing real solutions that restore fairness, accountability and dignity to American workers and we will not stop exposing the fraud, corruption and abuse driving a broken immigration system that has stolen jobs, wages and opportunity from our people.
