Marjorie Taylor Greene refuses to allow more foreigners into the labor market and proposes reforming the H-1B visa program
Marjorie Taylor Greene, representative for Georgia, will present an initiative to eliminate the H-1B visa program, arguing that foreigners granted work permits in the United States end up taking opportunities away from the local workforce.
Given that the H-1B visa applies to non-immigrant foreign workers with a job offer in specialized fields who hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent in the related field, the controversial Republican considers it detrimental to the future of American university graduates to offer jobs to others instead of investing in them.
In this regard, her proposal consists of almost completely eliminating this visa program, with a single exception for healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses.
For this type of specialized personnel, she would grant up to 10,000 H-1B visas annually with the option of gradually reducing that number over a period of 10 years.
Through a video posted on the social media platform intent: that it be temporary.
These visas were intended to meet a specialized occupational need at a given time,” she said.
From the 51-year-old Georgian's perspective, it is a serious mistake for the country's future not to limit the stay of foreign workers.
“People shouldn't be allowed to come and live here forever. We appreciate their experience, but we also wish them well so they can return to their home country,” she emphasized.
Taylor Green's comments come in response to the change in perspective adopted by President Donald Trump, who, After establishing a $10,000 payment for each H-1B visa in September, ostensibly to offer more jobs to Americans, in an interview this week with Fox News,he reversed course, acknowledging that the United States lacks sufficient specialized talent and leaving the door open to the arrival of foreign personnel. "You're not born with certain talents; people have to learn. You can't just say that a country comes in, invests $10 billion to build a plant, and takes people out of work after five years, and they're going to start manufacturing missiles. It doesn't work that way," the 79-year-old magnate stated.
