SCOOP: Rick Scott Moves to Terminate DHS Program That Incentivizes Hiring Foreign Grads
Senator Rick Scott is introducing a bill to terminate the Optional Practical Training visa program, which allows international students to work in the US for nearly four years after graduation. The program has been criticized for giving foreign nationals an advantage over US citizens and creating a national security risk. The bill, called the Prioritizing American Talent Act, would prohibit Department of Homeland Security funding from being used to help foreigners secure employment in the US.
- ▪The Optional Practical Training program was created in 1992 and allows international students to remain in the US to work for nearly four years after graduation.
- ▪Employers receive a tax break for hiring graduates under the program, which some say gives foreign nationals an advantage over US citizens.
- ▪The program has been criticized for creating a national security risk by allowing Chinese students to access sensitive technology and cutting-edge research at top US companies and universities.
