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 sometimes order Amazon Fresh food deliveries. For years the delivery people have often been foreign-born not good English speakers.

For the last few months the delivery people were good English speaking young black men. Maybe Bezos is starting to mend his ways about his excessive use of H1B visas in all strata of the company.

Over the years, I’ve worked with a number of H1-B visa holders from India. I’ve found them quite difficult to understand verbally. They proudly announce that English is a ‘native language’ in India, but they speak a dialect that is nearly impossible to understand. They have refused to learn our native dialect, but expect us to comprehend theirs.

The key to successful verbal communication is to “ speak clearly and carefully enunciate each word”. The babble from them is generally anything but that. Instead, it’s mumbled rolled ‘r’s and strung together incomprehensible words.
