Occurrences

An employer must attest that, before making a bona fide job offer to an alien, it took good faith steps to recruit United States workers and offered the job to any United States worker who applied and was equally or better qualified; the employer also attests it did not and will not lay off U.S. workers and will employ the alien at the promised wage rate for 3 years.

The bill requires employers to recruit U.S. workers first, avoid laying off U.S. workers for equivalent jobs, and keep the foreign worker at the promised wage rate for three years.

Evidence

Bill H.R.8586 (Americans First Immigration Act) introduced by Rep. Barry Moore includes an employer attestation requiring employers to take 'good faith steps to recruit United States workers' and prohibiting layoffs that would displace U.S. workers.

The official bill text (H.R. 8586), introduced April 29, 2026, contains a new statutory section requiring employers to attest they recruited U.S. workers first, provide recruitment summaries, and forbids layoffs tied to hiring foreign workers—i.e., concrete legislative language that would implement the user's claim if enacted.

Moore's official press release states the bill 'requires employers to recruit American workers first and ensure foreign labor does not displace U.S. workers.'

Representative Moore's House press release describes the Americans First Immigration Act and explicitly lists a provision requiring employers to recruit domestically first and to protect American workers from displacement—demonstrating the candidate's stated legislative action to fulfill the claim, though the measure remains in committee.

partial same_term A for effort

Rep. Barry Moore sponsored and introduced H.R. 8586 (Americans First Immigration Act) in April 2026, and the bill text and his press release explicitly include an employer attestation to recruit U.S. workers first and provisions prohibiting layoffs that would displace American workers. However, the measure has only been introduced and remains in committee (not enacted into law), so the promise was advanced legislatively but not delivered as law.
