EXILE ACT: Bill to eliminate H-1B visa program for hiring foreign workers introduced

U.S. Representative Greg Steube has introduced the Ending Exploitative Imported Labor Exemptions Act, or EXILE Act. This EXILE Act aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by ending the H-1B visa program.

The H-1B visa program allows US companies to hire foreign workers subject to certain specific conditions. The EXILE Act has been introduced at a time when the USCIS has announced the opening and closing dates for the H-1B 2027 Cap season initial registration.
