Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Chris Coons (D-DE) introduced bipartisan legislation Tuesday to expand opportunities for high-skilled immigrants to work and study in the United States.
From the press release:
The bill focuses on areas vital to ensuring the United States can maintain its competitiveness in the global economy: the quantity of employment-based nonimmigrant visas (H-1B visas), allowing for their growth depending on the demands of the economy while making reforms to protect workers; increased access to green cards for high-skilled workers by expanding the exemptions and eliminating the annual per country limits for employment based green cards; and reforming the fees on H-1B and green cards so those fees can be used to promote American worker retraining and education.
