Bipartisan Group Leads Attempt to Overhaul H-1B, L-1 Visa Programs

U.S. Reps. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-N.J.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-N.J.), and Lance Gooden (R-Texas) introduced legislation aimed at reforming and closing loopholes in the H-1B and L-1 visa programs. Companion legislation was introduced in the Senate by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

The bill would also extend the expiration dates for nonimmigrant visas and work permits, fast-track the importation of foreign health care workers, and allow stimulus checks from the CARES Act to be issued to illegal aliens.

The Center for Immigration Studies released a report this week based on data from the federal government's Current Population Survey. This survey gives detailed information about the nation's unemployed. No surprise it shows U.S.-born and immigrant workers both lost jobs in large numbers.
