In a revived lawsuit seeking to kill an Obama-era rule allowing employment for spouses of H-1B visa holders on track for green cards, a lawyer for former tech workers replaced by H-1B holders argued that “entry of aliens into the job market” harms U.S. workers, a report Friday said.

Lawyer John Miano also told court the work authorization for H-4 visa holders was “designed to attract and retain H-1B workers,” according to the report. His statements came during oral arguments Friday in the Save Jobs U.S.A. suit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, according to the report from Bloomberg Law.
