Rep. Crane Introduces Legislation to Pause and Reform the Broken H-1B Visa

Some of this seems reasonable.

At the ASU graduation ceremony this weekend, the dean asked all the international students to stand. Almost all stood up. Appeared to be 95%. Almost all Indian. I suspect the reason they're at US universities is to get access to OPT. This legislation would destroy American graduate programs. But with the impending AI apocalypse, it's probably the right thing to do.

How would this impact medical professionals? Especially for outside of major metro areas?

I suspect the biggest effect will be that American companies will offshore more of their work (instead of bringing in the workers on H-1B visas) or open more non-US IT offices. Universities will open more programs in foreign countries to manage the loss in revenue and to help with the credentialing peoblem. I would like to imagine this motivates them to invest in training native-born workers, but I really can't see that happening, given how they've operated the last 30-40 years.
