Key highlights of the bill include:

Requiring H-1B employers who seek H-1B visas under the program to commit to paying the foreign workers they recruit either what an American worker who did identical or similar work made two years prior to the recruiting effort, or $110,000 (whichever is higher).
Establishing a “layoff cool-off” period of two years (730 days), which would prevent an employer from bringing on an H-1B visa-based foreign worker within two years of an employee strike, an employer lockout, layoffs, furloughs, or other types of involuntary employee terminations other than for-cause dismissals.
Strengthening internal (company) and external (public domain) transparency requirements, in order to ensure that both company employees and the job-seeking public are aware of the company’s H-1B visa application and potential job opportunities at the company.
Requiring increased H-1B visa application transparency on the part of the Department of Labor, with real-time online updating of companies’ H-1B visa application submissions, the publication of certain application information (including the identities of the companies and employees who have submitted the applications), and additional reporting to Congress about program abusers.
Preventing continued use of the non-statute-based Optional Practical Training (OPT) Program, and the creation and use of other similar programs, which have also been used to displace American workers under the guise of student training.

现在两院都是共和党的，真有可能过啊。

扫了一眼，不止那几条
在这个提案之下 -
H1-B受益人必须有博士以上的学位（“博士后”也是学位？）加两年工作经验，或者非博士以上学位加十年以上相关工作经验
取消diversity visa lottery

个人感觉颇有想闭关锁国之势啊

11w 还要看地区吧，中西部拿个8w就是差不多硅谷11w的水平，一刀切的bill能通过也是个笑话。

+1.
申请H1B的时候有个wage level的评估，根据不同的地区不同的职业，bar是不一样的。

只能说，ted cruz就是为了拉拢一下美国中产选民整的，他自己应该不会觉得这个能通过吧。

他自己应该不会觉得这个能通过

取消opt大家直接滚蛋吧

放心根本不可能通过，共和党自己内部就有很大分歧，增加H1B限额的I-squared Act不也是共和党提的吗？在这件事情上共和党自己都已经内部分裂了

也不能说全是坏消息，但民主国家，u know，提案到立法生效，这个过程你绿卡都拿到了

最多只能反应说明了一个民意，就是要真正让美国需要的人进来

OPT和H1B不是给外国学生的福利，大部分外国学生留不下来，直接损害需要外国劳工的美国企业界和需要靠外国学生的现金学费赚钱的教育机构的利益。

h1b 11w？目测全美80%的h1b都不合格
opt取消？这个更不可能，影响太大，到时候理工科谁来敢美国读书
