Bill for three-year pause on H-1B visas introduced in U.S. Congress

A group of Republican lawmakers has introduced a bill in the U.S. Congress for a three-year pause to the H1-B visa programme, contending that it has been hijacked to replace American workers with cheap foreign labour.

Congressman Eli Crane from Arizona introduced the End H-1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026, which was co-sponsored by seven other Republican lawmakers.
