Welcoming International Success Act

Key Points

• This bill would completely cancel a September 2025 proclamation that restricted certain foreign workers from entering the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas, particularly H-1B visas used by skilled professionals like engineers, doctors, and tech workers.
• The bill also blocks the government from spending any taxpayer money to enforce the worker restrictions, effectively making it impossible for agencies to carry out the proclamation even partially.
• The bill was introduced by Rep. Watson Coleman along with four other co-sponsors and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. As a bill introduced by the minority party during a period of restrictive immigration policy, it faces significant obstacles to passage.
• Supporters argue that welcoming international workers strengthens the U.S. economy and helps American businesses compete globally by filling gaps in specialized fields where there aren't enough domestic workers available.
