佛罗里达州共和党众议员格雷格·斯蒂布(Greg Steube)已提出一项立法,旨在废除美国颇具争议的H-1B签证计划。

“将外国劳动力置于美国公民的福祉和繁荣之上,严重损害了我们的价值观和国家利益,”斯蒂布在一份新闻稿中表示。

他继续说道:“H-1B签证计划将企业和外国竞争对手的利益置于美国劳动力之上,导致工人和年轻人不断被排挤和剥夺权利。”

“我们不能在为非公民牺牲儿童的‘美国梦’的情况下,还声称要保护它。因此,我提出‘终结剥削性进口劳动力豁免法案’(EXILE Act),再次将美国劳动者置于首位,”这位国会议员在声明中表示。

“EXILE Act”是“Ending Exploitative Imported Labor Exemptions Act”(终结剥削性进口劳动力豁免法案)的缩写。

去年9月,总统唐纳德·特朗普发布公告,要求每份H-1B工人申请需缴纳10万美元费用。

公告部分内容写道:“国务卿应在H-1B签证申请流程中核实本公告第1节所述金额的付款是否已收到,并仅批准那些申请雇主已缴纳本公告第1节所述金额的签证申请。”

这位国会议员认为H-1B签证计划对美国人不利。

“美国工人长期以来一直被腐败的H-1B签证计划所剥削。企业反复滥用该制度,通过引进更廉价的外国劳动力来改善自身利润,这压低了工资水平,导致数百万美国人无法获得高薪工作,”斯蒂布在X平台(原推特)上发文称。

Republican Rep. Greg Steube of Florida has introduced legislation aimed at eliminating the nation’s controversial H-1B visa program.

“Prioritizing foreign labor over the well-being and prosperity of American citizens undermines our values and national interests,” Steube said, according to a press release.

“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,”he continued.

“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,”the congressman said in the statement.

“EXILE Act” is short for “Ending Exploitative Imported Labor Exemptions Act.”

In September, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation to require a $100,000 payment with each petition for an H-1B worker.

“The Secretary of State shall verify receipt of payment of the amount described in section 1 of this proclamation during the H-1B visa petition process and shall approve only those visa petitions for which the filing employer has made the payment described in section 1 of this proclamation,” the proclamation reads, in part.

The congressman argued that H-1B is bad for Americans.

“American workers have been ripped off by the corrupt H-1B visa program for far too long. Corporations have repeatedly abused this system to help their bottom line by importing cheaper foreign labor which has suppressed wages and left millions of Americans locked out of good-paying jobs,” Steube wrote in a post on X.
