SPECIAL NOTE: TONIGHT, THE HOUSE WILL START VOTING ON AMENDMENTS TO THE DHS APPROPRIATIONS BILL. PLEASE CHECK NUMBERSUSA'S WEBSITE FOR UPDATES AND ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE TO HELP THESE AMENDMENTS PASS.







Reps. Mike Grimm, Loretta Sanchez, Kevin Yoder, Robert Dold, Devin Nunes, Russ Carnahan, and Jared Polis have introduced H.R. 5893, the Startup Act 2.0. This bill would create 50,000 new STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) work visas for foreign students who graduate from a U.S. college with a master's degree or a Ph.D each year. The foreign students automatically earn 1-year work visa upon graduation and earn an additional 4-years if they are "actively engaged" at the end of the first year. At the end of the 5 year period, the foreign workers will be able for legal permanent worker status. https://www.numbersusa.com/content/news/june-6-2012/2013-homeland-security-spending-bill-house-floor.html







The bill also creates a new visa program for 75,000 new immigrant "entrepreneurs" -- individuals who already hold an H-1B visa or a STEM degree would be allowed 4 years to remain in the U.S. and operate a new business. During the first year, the immigrant entrepreneur must start a business that employs at least 2 full-time U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents and invest or raise at least $100,000 of capital. In years 2-4, the business must employ at least 5 Americans or legal permanent residents.







These new visa programs would increase foreign worker imports by 125,000 each year when more than 20 million Americans can't find a full-time job and when millions of Americans are about to graduate from college.







Please send your U.S. Representative a fax and ask him/her to oppose this legislation.
