To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to repeal authorities relating to H1-B visas for temporary workers.
Summary
H.R. 1325 is a legislative proposal that would eliminate the H-1B visa program, which currently allows U.S. employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialized occupations such as technology, engineering, and medicine. By repealing the sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act that authorize these visas, the bill would effectively end the legal pathway for companies to bring in high-skilled foreign labor under this specific classification. For citizens, the practical impact would include the removal of foreign competition for these specialized roles, while businesses would be required to fill those positions exclusively with domestic workers or through other existing visa categories.
