Good legislation. Note well: ZERO Democrat support and very, very thin Republican support. (That's how you know it's a good proposal.)
A bill that would pause the issuance of H-1B visas for three years to reform the program for when it resumes has been introduced by Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) and co-sponsored by a half dozen other House Republicans....
The proposal is a comprehensive "Americans First" bill:
...The cap on visas issued would be reduced from 65,000 to 25,000, the existing exemptions to the cap would be eliminated, and the allowance of two three-year visa terms would be reduced to just one. Applicants would be required to have a foreign residence to which they intend to return when their terms are up, instead of continuing to live in the U.S.
Employers would also be faced with stricter guidelines, with companies seeking to import H-1B visaholders being required to attest that they are unable to find a qualified American worker for that position, that bringing in a foreigner would not adversely affect American workers, and that they have not laid off workers in the previous year and will not lay any off in the following year. Employers would also have to pay the H-1B at least $200,000 per year.
If the bill passes, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) would be required to distribute H-1B visas according to the highest wages offered as opposed to a lottery system.
H-1B workers would also be barred from being employed by more than one company at a time. Third-party employers, or staffing agencies, would be barred from employing them. ...
The H-1B scams and frauds run by such as Microsoft, Adobe, Deluxe Data, Kohl's, and the staffing firms cancers such as CapGemini have doomed US citizens who 'did everything right' to slop-jobs. There is no question that H-1B abuse is rampant and--frankly--anti-American.
This bill will not pass, but it is a model for pro-US citizen legislation.
