Cotton Introduces Bill to Close H-1B Visa Loopholes in Academia
Washington, DC - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today introduced the Visa Cap Enforcement Act. This bill restricts the ability of universities, research institutions, and non-profits to hire an unlimited number of foreign workers.
"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," said Senator Cotton.
Text of the bill can be found here.
The Visa Cap Enforcement Act would:
- Eliminate four exemptions to the H-1B visa cap, including one for foreigners who hold a master's degree or higher from a U.S. institution.
