Rep. Steube Introduces EXILE Act
WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) introduced today the Ending Exploitative Imported Labor Exemptions Act or EXILE Act. This bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by ending the H-1B visa program. “Prioritizing foreign labor over the well-being and prosperity of American citizens undermines our values and national interests,” said Rep. Steube. “Our workers and young people continue to be displaced and disenfranchised by the H-1B visa program that awards corporations and foreign competitors at the expense of our workforce. We cannot preserve the American dream for our children while forfeiting their share to non-citizens. That is why I am introducing the EXILE Act to put working Americans first again.” Background: The EXILE Act would amend Section 214(g)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1184) by ending the H-1B visa program. More than 80% of recipients of H-1B visas are Indian or Chinese nationals with priority given to younger workers.Here are some examples of how the H-1B visa program has disadvantaged American workers:
To kill H-1B programme by 2027, US lawmaker introduces bill
Greg Steube, a US Representative and a member of the Republican Party, introduced a legislation on Monday (US time) aimed squarely at eliminating the H-1B visa programme. The proposal, which is titled the Ending Exploitative Imported Labour Exemptions (EXILE) Act, seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to end the visa programme.
Steube is a Republican Lawmaker who has been representing Florida's 17th congressional district since 2019. He aims to end the H-1B visa programme, which is a US work visa that allows American employers to hire highly specialised foreign professionals to fill skill gaps and help American industries in sectors like technology remain competitive with the rest of the world.

H-1B Visas To Be Permanently Scrapped Under New Plan
A Republican lawmaker has proposed a new bill in Congress that seeks to permanently end the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
Supporters argue that the H-1B visa program fills critical labor shortages in sectors such as technology, health care, and engineering, while critics say the visa program can displace U.S. workers and undercut wages for Americans.
There is bipartisan agreement among many Republicans and Democrats that the program needs to be reformed.
Representative Greg Steube, a Florida Republican, introduced the legislation, called the Ending Exploitative Imported Labor Exemptions (EXILE) Act.
