End work permits for foreign students: Republicans after H-1B visa revamp
Business Standard India ^ | 9/25/2025 | Surbhi Gloria Singh, New Delhi

Republican voices in Washington have turned their attention to international students after raising the cost of H-1B visas. On Wednesday, Senator Chuck Grassley urged the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to stop granting work authorisations to student visa holders.

In a post on X, Grassley wrote, “DHS needs to stop issuing work authorisations to student visa holders who compete against Americans. It’s in direct violation of law and puts USA at risk of tech and corporate espionage. I have sent a letter to DHS Secretary Noem asking her to end work authorisations for foreign student visa holders.”

If acted upon, the proposal would restrict Optional Practical Training (OPT), a programme that lets students work for 12 to 36 months after finishing their studies.

Indians should be considered biological weapons and every company that imports them should be tried for crimes against humanity

for many employed aliens, the student visa is just a side hustle, laying grounds for a career despite the requirement to return to home country for at least two years to put the degree to good use.

Basically, any fortune 100 company can be shut worn tomorrow if the Indians refused to type in any more passwords. This will happen.
