“processed_content”: “

A new bill has been introduced in Congress proposing the complete elimination of the H-1B visa program. The legislation, spearheaded by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, argues that the program, originally designed to bring high-skilled foreign workers to the U.S., is currently being misused to undermine American wages and displace domestic workers.

The bill is framed as a “pro-American worker” measure, aiming to force companies to prioritize hiring U.S. citizens. This proposal strikes at the heart of the tech industry, where H-1B visas are widely utilized to fill critical roles in software engineering and data science, often due to reported domestic talent shortages.

If passed, this would represent a radical shift in U.S. immigration policy, potentially severing a key pipeline for global tech talent and forcing Silicon Valley companies to fundamentally restructure their recruitment and expansion strategies. While the bill faces steep odds in the current Congress, the proposal has ignited a fierce debate regarding labor protectionism versus global competitiveness.
