Pascrell and Rohrabacher had introduced a similar version of the bill in 2010. The act, introduced by Democratic Congressman Bill Pascrell from New Jersey and Republican Dana Rohrabacher from California, will prohibit companies from hiring H-1B employees if they employ more than 50 people and more than 50 per cent of their employees are H-1B and L1 visa holders. Washington, July 9 (PTI): A legislation has been introduced in the House of Representatives which, if passed by the Congress, would prevent Indian companies from hiring IT professionals on H-1B and L1 visas. But it could not gain enough support in the Congress.
