‘Freeze all immigration’: US lawmaker plans bill amid Trump’s shifting stance on H1B
US Congressman Chip Roy has announced plans to introduce a bill calling for a “freeze on all immigration” to the United States — a move that comes amid President Donald Trump’s tougher stance on the issue and recent H-1B visa reforms that have already unsettled Indian professionals. Indians make up nearly 70% of all H-1B holders, according to recent data.
Speaking on a show by political commentator Benny Johnson, Republic leader Roy, who represents Texas’s 21st Congressional District, said the proposed legislation would block all forms of immigration “until certain objectives are achieved”.
