Tom Cotton Drafts Bill to Shrink H-1B Visa Program
Breitbart ^ | 9/29/2025 | Neil Munro

Posted on 10/10/2025 5:22:15 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) will introduce a bill on Tuesday that would sharply reduce the number of H-1B migrants working in U.S. white-collar jobs.

The bill, to be announced Tuesday morning, would begin to count visa renewals as new visas, so ending the current practice of allowing unlimited renewals for most of the 85,000 visas granted to companies each year.

The unlimited renewals policy allows roughly 750,000 H-1B visa holders to retain white-collar, career-track jobs that would otherwise have gone to young U.S. graduates. Without the exemption, the number of company-employed H-1B visa holders would drop to roughly 250,000.

The Cotton bill would also end the policy of exempting H-1B visas from the 85,000 limit if they are awarded to non-profits, which include corporate-affiliated research centers, universities, hospitals, and government K-12 teaching jobs. The non-profit H-1B workforce is large and growing, and is also harming many young Americans who are both skilled and eager for careers in laboratories, hospitals, lecture halls, and classrooms.

“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 in a press statement.

I don’t trust Cotton, not really saying much though.

Why are we allowing foreigners to take jobs from Americans?
It’s almost as if New Delhi is making the decisions here.
Don’t curtail it. End it.

Indians taking over Arkansas, too. Cotton is feeling the heat from his constituents to do something about the invasion.

Cotton is feeling pressure in Arkansas over the Indian H1B takeover at Walmart.

The politicians who stand opposed to the Indians will win their elections next year.

As you can see by their growing hysteria, the H1b invaders and their pimps are also feeling the heat. Not just the politicians.

He doesn't do those any more, now that he's got chumps like you to post for him about how much they hate India, and to make Free Republic look bad.

Also, he's got guys like you to not contribute to the Free-A-Thons, just like him.

That'll take down Free Republic even faster, with his xenophobe cheerleaders chasing away sane posters.
