USCIS Cracks Down on Green Card Fraud; DOJ Sanctions Company
Imagine people trying to get a special card to live and work in the U.S. Some people cheated by pretending to be really good at their jobs to get these cards.
Now, the government is checking these applications again.
Many people are having their cards taken away because of the cheating.
This makes it harder for people who followed the rules to get their cards.
Also, a company was punished for preferring foreign workers over Americans for jobs.
