A proposal to change the provisions of H-1B visa in America has been introduced in the Senate. Senator Bernie Sanders has said that the purpose of H-1B visa is not to bring the best and smartest professionals to the country.
But companies are getting their work done by bringing low-paid guest workers. This is a step that will harm America.
The purpose of America’s H-1B visa is to fill high-income American jobs with low-paid foreign guest workers. Influential American Senator Bernie Sanders has presented an amendment proposal in the Senate to attack this policy of the companies.
Ban on inviting foreign guest workers to America
According to this proposal, there will be a ban on inviting foreign guest workers to America by giving H-1B visa. Sanders’ proposal has come to change the Lachen Riley Act related to immigration.
Sanders has said that the purpose of H-1B visa is not to bring the best and the smartest professionals to the country. But companies are getting their work done by bringing low-paid guest workers. This is a step that harms America, whose effect will be seen after a long time.
The government will impose penalty on the companies
Sanders said that the government will impose penalty on companies that employ people at low wages. This will benefit the government in terms of revenue. This revenue collection can be up to 370 million dollars per year.
With this amount, the government can provide scholarships to 20 thousand American students. These students will be from subjects like science, technology, engineering, mathematics etc. These students will become good professionals and accelerate the pace of development of America.
America imposed ban on 25 Chinese companies
America has announced a ban on more than two dozen Chinese companies related to advanced technology. After the ban, these companies and people will not be able to maintain any kind of relationship with America and their assets will also be confiscated.
The companies that have been banned include GePu AI, which works in understanding many languages, and Sofgo, which makes high-tech chips. Chips made by Sofgo are used in Huawei’s artificial intelligence processors. America has already banned Huawei in 2019. Two companies from Singapore have also been banned
The US Commerce Department has also expressed its resolve to effectively stop the chips going to China. The US has banned 25 companies including these two companies. Along with this, two companies from Singapore have also been banned.
