Congressman Mike Kennedy introduced the PROTECT Act of 2026 to prioritize American workers over foreign labor in employment.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressman Kennedy introduces the PROTECT Act: Congressman Mike Kennedy has unveiled the Prioritizing Resources for Our Citizens and Talent Act of 2026, or PROTECT Act, aimed at prioritizing American workers. The Act seeks to amend the H-1B visa program, which Kennedy claims has been misused to displace qualified American workers with lower-cost foreign labor.
Key provisions of the legislation: The PROTECT Act proposes raising the H-1B visa fee to $100,000 to deter companies from relying on foreign labor as a cost-cutting measure. Kennedy emphasized that "hard working Americans deserve more than just an opportunity at American jobs; they deserve to be the priority." The Act aligns with previous directives from former President Trump.
Background on H-1B program concerns: Critics argue that the H-1B visa program, originally intended to fill specific skills gaps, has instead negatively impacted American wages and job opportunities. The proposed legislation is part of a broader discussion on workforce integrity and national security related to immigration policy.
