Texas Governor Greg Abbott has halted new H-1B visa applications for state agencies and public universities until May 2027, citing program abuse and the replacement of American workers. This move, influenced by MAGA sentiment and a conservative campaign, targets institutions relying on foreign talent, particularly from India, in fields like education and healthcare.
