Summary
A bill introduced by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene seeks to eliminate the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers.

The article discusses the political context of the bill's introduction and its potential implications for immigration policy and U.S. businesses that rely on H-1B visas for specialized talent.
