微软总裁史密斯警告：收紧绿卡将损害美国科技竞争力 人才恐流向海外
据路透社报道，微软总裁布拉德·史密斯（Brad Smith）在《Politico》10月15日（周四）刊出的采访中警告，特朗普政府收紧高技能外国员工绿卡通道的做法，可能损害美国的科技竞争力，并促使人才流向海外。史密斯表示，堵住高技能移民通往永久居留权的路径，可能让美国科技行业受到重创，时间长达一代人以上。
史密斯在采访中还回应了副总统万斯（JD Vance）关于微软滥用H-1B签证项目的指控，称这一说法「完全站不住脚」。他否认微软给外籍员工的薪酬低于美国员工，表示公司对所有员工采用同一套薪酬体系，不因移民身份而有所区别。史密斯还表示，微软去年聘用了9,000多名在美国出生的员工，认为政府的批评忽略了这一贡献。
史密斯发表上述言论的时间，距万斯宣布政府将禁止微软等八家公司为高技能外国员工申请绿卡还不到一周。本站10月8日曾报道，美国已暂停微软、Adobe等八家公司的绿卡劳工证（PERM）通道，待审申请一并冻结。据路透社报道，白宫与微软均未立即回应置评请求。

Microsoft President Brad Smith Warns Green-Card Curbs Could Hurt U.S. Tech Competitiveness and Drive Talent Overseas
Microsoft President Brad Smith warned in an interview published by Politico on Thursday, October 15, that the Trump administration's move to restrict green-card access for skilled foreign workers could hurt U.S. technological competitiveness and drive talent overseas, according to Reuters. Smith said blocking pathways to permanent residency for highly skilled immigrants could cripple the U.S. technology sector for more than a generation.
In the interview, Smith also pushed back against Vice President JD Vance's accusations that Microsoft had abused the H-1B visa program, calling them completely off base. He denied that foreign-born employees were paid less than American workers, saying the company uses the same compensation system for all employees regardless of immigration status. Smith said Microsoft hired more than 9,000 U.S.-born workers last year, arguing that contribution had been overlooked in the administration's criticism, according to the report.
Smith's comments came less than a week after Vance announced the administration would bar Microsoft and seven other companies from seeking green cards for skilled foreign workers. GSM reported on October 8 that the United States had suspended the PERM labor-certification channel — the starting point for most employment-based green cards — for Microsoft, Adobe and six other companies, with pending applications frozen. The White House and Microsoft did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment, according to Reuters.
