California Governor Slams Trump’s Immigration Crackdown, Says US Economy Needs Global Talent

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office has criticised Donald Trump’s immigration policies, accusing the US President of undermining the economy by restricting legal immigration. The statement argues that strengthening America requires investment in domestic workers while continuing to attract global talent. The criticism comes amid growing concerns over the Trump administration’s crackdown on employment-based immigration, including the suspension of major companies from the PERM labour certification programme, a key step towards US green cards for foreign workers.
