Plain-English Summary

The legislation would strengthen enforcement of existing limits on the number of visas the U.S. government can issue each year, particularly for employment-based visas. This would affect employers seeking to hire foreign workers and immigrants trying to come to the United States for jobs, potentially making it harder for companies to fill positions with international talent and for foreign nationals to obtain work visas.
