特朗普第二任期以来,美国政府持续收紧移民和签证政策,曾提高H-1B签证费用并施压高校限制国际学生招生,但此类措施多遭司法挑战。
中新社华盛顿10月8日电 (记者 陈孟统)美国政府8日宣布,暂停微软、奥多比(Adobe)等多家科技企业参与一项允许外籍员工申请美国绿卡的计划。同时,对哈佛大学等9所美国高校的“签证欺诈”行为发起调查。
当天,白宫就“工作签证项目中的滥用与欺诈”问题举行记者会,美国副总统万斯、劳工部长桑德林等出席。
万斯在记者会上说,“美国人没有能力为美国创造未来”正是签证欺诈行为所传递的谎言,“在微软证明会认真落实美国工人优先的原则之前,我们将拒绝其为外籍员工申请永久居留资格的权利”。
被暂停外籍员工绿卡申请计划的公司还包括高知特、印孚瑟斯等大型科技公司。万斯说,这一措施将持续到“必要期限”为止。
美国政府当天还宣布对9所美国大学“涉嫌J-1签证欺诈”发起调查,相关传票已送达校方。这9所高校分别是麻省理工学院、哈佛大学、耶鲁大学、斯坦福大学、布朗大学、匹兹堡大学、加州大学戴维斯分校、加州理工学院和亚利桑那州立大学。
特朗普第二任期以来,美国政府继续收紧移民和签证政策。去年9月,特朗普曾签署公告,以企业“滥用”H-1B签证项目为由,宣布将该类签证申请费用提高至10万美元。同时,美国政府也多次向包括哈佛大学在内的美国高校施压,限制或禁止其招收国际学生。不过,上述措施均遭遇司法挑战。(完)

The Japanese government finalized a bill to reduce the food and beverage consumption tax rate from 8% to 1% at a cabinet meeting and plans to submit it to Congress on the same day. Opposition parties and the public questioned the financial resources and actual effects of the tax cuts. The Cadets pointed out that the specific details were not yet clear, and people were worried that the policy would be used as an election bargaining chip. If the original tax rate was restored after two years, it would increase the burden on the people.

Former Legislative President You Xikun pointed out at the forum commemorating the centenary of Ku Kuan-min's birth that Taiwan's local history has been covered up and obliterated for a long time under the authoritarian rule of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Kai-shek, and the haze of historical distortion has not disappeared. He pointedly pointed out that former President Ma Ying-jeou held an important position in Chiang's regime, but criticized the Democratic Progressive Party government with "green terror", which was actually telling lies. He also emphasized that during the White Terror, the judiciary was reduced to a tool of rule. Taiwan's democratic achievements came from the blood and sacrifice of the people, not from authoritarian gifts.

When Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan was asked about his Chinese identity in an interview with media reporter Tang Xianglong, he made it clear that he was a Taiwanese and a citizen of the Republic of China, emphasizing his firm stance, and mentioned that he was born and raised in Taipei and lives on Taiwanese soil.

The revamped Huanggang border crossing between Hong Kong and Shenzhen will open on Monday at 6:30am, replacing the Lok Ma Chau-Huanggang port as the sole 24-hour clearance point after both sides confirmed readiness through inspections, tests, and drills, with Guangdong official Huang Kunming urging alignment with Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis plan.

Non-party Kaohsiung City Councilor Zhang Boyang criticized Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's political views on relocating Songshan Airport and building Taipei AI Park. He pointed out that Chiang Wanan did not raise this issue when he was a legislator in 2016 or when he was elected mayor in 2022. He only raised it four years after being elected as mayor when the election situation was critical. He also questioned his view of the relocation of Songshan Airport as a way to reduce harm. At the same time, he compared Kaohsiung City's vision and execution ability in the layout of the semiconductor industry.

In response to the relocation of Songshan Airport, the Penghu County Government advocates that the function of Songshan Airport’s livelihood flights should be retained, and at the same time, Taoyuan Airport should add new sightseeing flights and provide 30% off fare incentives to achieve the diversion of livelihood and sightseeing aviation resources on outlying islands, so as to reduce the burden of medical treatment on outlying island residents and open up an international tourism portal.
