GOP PUSH TO KILL H‑1B SURGES: DESANTIS ALLIES, MTG AND BANKS DEMAND PHASE‑OUT AS TRUMP DEFENDS PROGRAM

A growing faction of Republicans — including Ron DeSantis allies, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Sen. Jim Banks and others — openly pressed this week to eliminate or aggressively phase out the H‑1B visa program, with Greene vowing a bill. The push follows President Trump’s recent defense of high‑skilled immigration and has exposed a sharp intra‑GOP split. Social‑media volleys and interviews amplified the pressure on congressional Republicans to move legislation. The fight has major implications for tech, AI, healthcare and outsourcing employers that depend on H‑1B workers.
