United States lawmakers continued tightening rules for the H-1B and L-1 worker visa programmes Monday after three senators introduced two separate pieces of legislation to target "loopholes" used by for- and non-profit employers.
The top Republican and Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee - Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, and Democrat Dick Durbin of Illinois - tabled a bill to raise wage and hiring standards, mandate public job postings, and narrowing visa eligibility, among others.
"Congress created the H-1B and L-1 visa programs as limited pathways for businesses to acquire top talent when it can't be found at home. But over the years, many employers have used them to cut out American workers in favour of cheap foreign labour," Grassley said.

"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," Cotton said on his website.
The L-1 allows companies to transfer existing employees from overseas offices to the US.
