- Representative Greg Steube, a Florida Republican, introduced the Ending Exploitative Imported Labor Exemptions Act to eliminate the H-1B visa program and put working Americans first.

- Scrutiny of tech firms and GOP proposals to end H-1B are intensifying pressure on employers as Microsoft faced scrutiny after nearly 16,000 layoffs in 2025 while continuing visa filings, and Jim McCoy warns costs will force cutbacks.
