The Welcoming International Success Act would nullify a presidential proclamation issued in September 2025 that restricted entry for certain temporary foreign workers, particularly those on H-1B visas used in skilled occupations. The bill would eliminate the proclamation entirely and prohibit the federal government from spending any money to enforce it. H-1B visas are commonly used by companies to hire foreign workers in fields like technology, healthcare, and engineering, and the earlier proclamation had placed restrictions based on wage levels. The legislation was introduced by a bipartisan group of House representatives in March 2026 and was referred to the House Judiciary Committee. By passing this bill, Congress would reverse the Trump administration's 2025 policy and allow these temporary worker visa programs to resume without the wage-based restrictions.
