Marjorie Taylor Greene Proposes Bill to End H-1B Visa Program

Proposed H-1B Visa Program Elimination

• 🇺🇸 Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is introducing a bill to completely eliminate the H-1B visa program.
• ⚠️ Greene claims the program has been plagued by fraud and abuse and has displaced American workers.

Exemption for Medical Professionals

• 🩺 The bill includes one exemption allowing up to 10,000 visas annually for medical professionals like doctors and nurses.
• ⏳ This exemption will be phased out over 10 years to foster the development of an American pipeline of doctors and physicians.

Restoring Original Intent and Citizenship Pathway

• 📜 The bill aims to restore the visa's original intent as a temporary measure for specialized occupational needs.
• 🚫 It will remove the pathway to citizenship, requiring visa holders to return to their home countries upon expiration.

Addressing Physician Shortages and American Workers

• 🏥 The bill prohibits Medicare-funded residency programs from admitting non-citizen medical students, citing over 9,000 US-graduated doctors without residency placements versus over 5,000 foreign-born doctors receiving spots in 2023.
• 🎯 This measure is intended to mitigate doctor and nurse shortages by prioritizing American doctors for residency programs.
• ✨ Greene emphasizes that the bill prioritizes American citizens and their dreams over foreign workers.
