Vice President JD Vance accused Microsoft of displacing American workers through mass layoffs while relying heavily on the H-1B visa program to hire immigrants. Vance called Big Tech’s approach to replacing Americans “a bullshit story” at an event on Wednesday.

Vice President JD Vance launched a scathing attack on Microsoft Wednesday, questioning the tech giant’s practice of laying off thousands of American workers while simultaneously applying for a significant number of H-1B visas to hire foreign employees. Speaking at a bipartisan event co-hosted by the Hill and Valley Forum, Vance expressed concern over the ethics and economic rationale behind such actions.

“You see some big tech companies where they’ll lay off 9,000 workers, and then they’ll apply for a bunch of overseas visas,” Vance said. “And I sort of wonder; that doesn’t totally make sense to me. That displacement and that math worries me a bit.”

Vance emphasized the administration’s stance on attracting top global talent while prioritizing American workers. “What the president has said, he said very clearly: We want the very best and the brightest to make America their home. We want them to build great companies and so forth. But I don’t want companies to fire 9,000 American workers and then to go and say, ‘We can’t find workers here in America.’ That’s a bullshit story,” Vance asserted.
