Days after the Trump administration's big H-1B fee hike to $100,000, a bipartisan support to further changes to the visa allocation system was seen in the US senate with the introduction of the H-1B, L-1 visa reforms bill.
The bill proposes further restrictions on both visas, and comes days after the steep H-1B fee hike and overhaul proposed for the existing lottery system. The move is likely to affect Indians the most, who account for 71% of H-1B visa beneficiaries.
The proposed legislation introduces stricter wage and recruitment rules for employers, giving priority to H-1B visas for workers with STEM degrees and imposing stiffer penalties for wage violations.
However, unlike the H-1B system, the L-1 visa enables multinational companies to transfer their existing employees from overseas offices to the US, Reuters reported.
As Republican Senator Chuck Grassley and Democratic Senator Dick Durbin introduced the bill, they shed light on American workers being laid off, adding that the legislation aimed to “target visa fraud and abuse” and fix a "broken" immigration system.
“Major companies are laying off thousands of American workers while filing thousands of visa petitions for foreign workers at depressed wages and poor working conditions," Durbin said. The proposed bill is the latest development amid Trump administration's plan to bring in stricter immigration norms.

Dickey Turban Durin is co sponsoring a bill to help Americans??????
Near the end of my IT career I encountered H1Bs. The company I worked for were desperate to get rid of us older, more expensive employees for cheap labor. I found the Indians to have weak communication skills and were really poor at problem solving. They never completely finished a task. Without a script they were useless.
Also related to this article, but never talked about, are the hiring restrictions India has on American expats to be hired in India. Much like India having tons of tariffs and import restrictions for many years on U.S. products, then having the audacity to fuss when Trump raises tariffs.
Yeah, better vouch for those credentials REAL carefully! I say make them take a test on the subject. A degree from the Hare Krishna Vishnu Institiute of Technology might not cut it.
