Sen. Marshall Backs H-1B, Green Card Cap Reform Amid GOP Crackdown
NewsData.io · United States · Oct 8, 2026
Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall broke with the Trump administration's anti-H-1B stance, pledging to defend legal immigration pathways for skilled foreign workers and to address the per-country green card cap he called 'one of our nation's great injustices.' His remarks came at a June event hosted by the Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies, as VP JD Vance signaled support for eliminating the H-1B program entirely. A Trump executive order imposing a $100,000 fee on certain visa applicants remains tied up in courts. Staffing firms relying on H-1B workers face continued uncertainty as congressional and executive-branch signals on the program remain sharply divided.
