"American Jobs First Act of 2017" H.R. 2233 Bill Introduced in the House 04/28/2017

  • This bill is sponsored by Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama with two co-sponsors, Rep Francus Rooney of Florida and Rep. Walter Jones of North Carolina to restrict H-1B program and repeal of diversity visa (immigration lottery) program. For H-1B reform, the bill proposed to establishe salary requirements and standards that are either the greater of the annual wage paid to the U.S. employee who did similar work during the previous 2 years, or $110,000; create a “cooling off” between the time period by which employers are allowed to replace U.S. employees with foreign labor, thereby preventing H-1B visa program abuse aimed at displacing American workers; create greater transparency of job needs and opportunities in STEM fields; prevent the massive layoffs at companies such as Disney, where workers were forced to train their foreign replacements.
