Ok, good thing republicans can stop it, too.  Where are they? [/quote]

House Republicans just introduced the End H-1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026 — a 3-YEAR PAUSE on new H-1B visas + massive reforms to protect American workers from Big Tech abuse!

Key provisions of the bill include:

•  Reducing the annual H-1B visa cap from 65,000 to 25,000 and eliminating all existing exemptions.

•  Limiting visas to a single three-year term (instead of two).

•  Requiring applicants to maintain a foreign residence they intend to return to.

•  Mandating that employers attest they cannot find a qualified U.S. worker, that hiring the foreign worker will not harm American workers, and that they have not laid off (and will not lay off) U.S. workers in the prior or following year.

•  Setting a minimum salary of $200,000 for H-1B workers.

•  Awarding visas based on the highest wage offered, replacing the current lottery system.

•  Prohibiting H-1B workers from working for multiple employers or third-party staffing agencies.

•  Codifying President Trump’s $100,000 fee per H-1B hire.

•  Banning H-1B (and H-2A/H-2B) workers from bringing family members to the U.S.

•  Preventing the federal government from sponsoring or employing nonimmigrant workers.

•  Requiring nonimmigrant workers to leave the U.S. before changing to another immigration status.

The bill is co-sponsored by Reps. Brian Babin (R-TX), Brandon Gill (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Wesley Hunt (R-TX), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Keith Self (R-TX), and Andy Ogles (R-TN). In the Senate, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) has voiced support for a temporary pause on the H-1B program.

Not a single democrat will support US workers over big business
