Two US senators Thursday proposed to ban firms receiving government bailouts from hiring foreign workers under a special visa program for highly skilled employees.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa said in a statement he sponsored an amendment to the stimulus bill with Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont that would prohibit businesses that have received taxpayer bailout funds from hiring H-1B visa holders.
Senators were preparing to vote on the massive stimulus plan worth 900 billion dollars aimed at easing the worst economic slump in decades.
