H1 markup bill


Recommended Posts

Posted

H-1B MARKUP: The House Judiciary Committee will mark up a bill today that would toughen wage requirements for certain companies that hire workers under the H-1B visa program, which allows companies to hire specialized workers from abroad. The legislation deals with “H-1B dependent” companies (for bigger businesses, that means H-1B workers make up 15 percent or more of the full-time workforce).

“Current law requires such companies to prove they have tried to recruit or hire U.S. workers,” writes POLITICO’s Ted Hesson. “The dependent employers can skirt the additional requirements, however, if they pay at least $60,000 or hire only those who have a master’s degree or higher. … Under the bill, the threshold would rise to $100,000. The degree-related exemption would be eliminated altogether.” H.R. 170 (115) was introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) in January and enjoys support from a pair of Democrats, Reps. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) and Jared Polis (D-Colo.).

The idea is that a higher wage requirement will push out employers that seek to displace U.S. workers. But Daniel Costa, director of immigration law and policy research at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, is skeptical about that. “If Rep. Issa wants to raise the wages of H-1B [workers] then why not just do it directly?” he told Morning Shift. “Instead we’re dealing with exemptions — an indirect method. There’s no good reason for it as far as I can tell. It would be easier and less complicated to raise the wage levels and explicitly prohibit displacing and replacing U.S. workers.” The markup takes place at 10:15 a.m. in Rayburn 2141.
