Bill 119 hjres 22 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security regarding various changes to the H-1B visa program, the F-1 visa program, and other nonimmigrant worker programs. The rule, titled "Modernizing H-1B Requirements, Providing Flexibility in the F-1 Program, and Program Improvements Affecting Other Nonimmigrant Workers," was put forth by the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to update and streamline the processes and requirements for these visa programs.
However, some members of Congress have raised concerns about the potential impact of the rule on nonimmigrant workers and the overall immigration system. They argue that the rule could lead to increased competition for jobs among nonimmigrant workers, potentially displacing American workers. Additionally, there are concerns about the potential for abuse and exploitation of nonimmigrant workers under the new rule.
As a result, Bill 119 hjres 22 seeks to disapprove of the rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security. If passed, this bill would prevent the rule from going into effect and would require the Department of Homeland Security to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new proposal that addresses the concerns raised by members of Congress.
Overall, Bill 119 hjres 22 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over immigration policy and the treatment of nonimmigrant workers in the United States.
