End H-1B Now Act
Representative Greene Proposes Phasing Out H-1B Visas and Ending Non-Citizen Medical Residencies
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate the H-1B program, and for other purposes.
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Representative Greene introduced a bill to completely eliminate the H-1B visa program by the year 2035. This program is currently used by American companies to hire foreign workers for specialized roles in fields like technology, science, and medicine.
- The plan would immediately cut the number of available visas to 10,000 in 2026 and reduce that number by 1,000 every year until it reaches zero. This would significantly limit the ability of businesses to bring in international talent.
- While the program is being phased out, only doctors and nurses would be eligible to receive these visas. Other professionals, such as fashion models and tech workers, would be barred from the program right away.
- The bill would also change the rules to require that these workers prove they plan to leave the U.S. when their visa ends. It would stop the current practice that allows these workers to seek permanent legal status while they are here.
- Finally, the proposal would ban non-citizens from participating in medical residency programs funded by Medicare. This could have a major impact on how hospitals staff their facilities and train the next generation of doctors.
