US lawmaker proposes bill to eliminate H-1B visa programme, end path to citizenship

An American lawmaker has announced plans to introduce legislation aimed at entirely scrapping the H-1B visa programme and removing the pathway to citizenship associated with it, a move she says would “force” visa holders to “return home” once their status expires.

In a video posted on X on Thursday, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene declared, “My dear fellow Americans, I’m introducing a bill to completely eliminate the H-1B visa programme, which has been riddled with fraud and abuse and has been displacing American workers for decades.”
