Live EventsRepublicans, led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, plan to introduce immigration legislation that may affect H-1B visas. Companies worry that new restrictions, like higher salary requirements for H-1B workers, could make the program less useful. This could be influenced by business leaders like Elon Musk and his support for more skilled workers. However, Republicans will likely need to work with Senate Democrats to pass any legislation, which could result in stricter restrictions rather than an increase in H-1B visas.Senator Richard Durbin has long advocated for limitations on H-1B visas. One proposed amendment, co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders, would require employers to pay H-1B holders much higher wages.
