Plain-English Summary
States would be allowed to create pilot programs that sponsor certain foreign workers to come to the United States temporarily for jobs that employers say they cannot fill with American workers. The program would give states more control over which types of workers they can bring in, rather than having the federal government make all these decisions. This could affect employers looking to hire workers, state governments trying to address labor shortages, and foreign nationals seeking temporary work visas.
