Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) has introduced the Visa Cap Enforcement Act, a bill aimed at limiting the ability of universities, research institutions, and non-profit organizations to hire foreign workers through the H-1B visa program.
According to Senator Cotton, “Colleges and universities shouldn’t get special treatment for bringing in woke and anti-American professors from around the world. My bill closes these loopholes that universities have abused for far too long.”
The proposed legislation would remove four current exemptions to the H-1B visa cap. One notable exemption targeted by this bill is for foreign nationals who have earned a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. institution.
Further details about the text of the bill are available on Senator Cotton’s official website.
