政治的水平先不论，这类提案可以被发布出来，说明美帝有孤立主义驱逐外国人的声音存在。在特朗普鼓励下这类声音会越来越大，达到把水搅浑的目的。
AI新闻摘要
亚利桑那州第九国会选区的众议员泡狗傻（Paul A. Gosar）于2025年3月25日重新提出了名为《高技能美国人公平法案》（H.R.2315）的立法，旨在终止由美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）管理的选择性实习培训（OPT）项目。  狗傻吠道，OPT项目未经国会授权，允许持学生签证的外国人在完成学业后继续在美国工作最长三年，变相绕过了国会设定的H-1B签证上限。
它认为，该项目通过免除雇主支付社会保障和医疗保险税等方式，激励企业雇佣廉价的外国劳动力，损害了美国本土高技能工人和应届毕业生的就业机会。
根据研究中心数据，2008年至2016年间，OPT项目的参与人数增长了400%，共有约150万名外国毕业生利用了该项目。此外，NumbersUSA报告称，OPT项目每年导致社会保障和医疗保险信托基金损失约40亿美元。
戈萨议员强调，政府不应通过这样的项目鼓励雇主优先雇佣外国员工，认为OPT项目存在严重缺陷，应该被废除。它此前曾在第116届国会提出过类似法案，并两次签署支持美国工人的法庭之友陈述，反对国土安全部的OPT项目。
该法案的共同发起人包括众议员比格斯（Biggs）、伯切特（Burchett）、吉尔（Gill）等人，外部支持组织有美国优先政策研究所（AFPI）、美国移民改革联合会（FAIR）等。

Washington, March 25, 2025
WASHINGTON D.C. - Representative Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S (AZ-09) issued the following statements after reintroducing H.R. 2315, the Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act, legislation that would terminate the Optional Practical Training (OPT) Program administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service:
“The OPT program completely undercuts American workers, particularly higher-skilled workers and recent college graduates, by giving employers a tax incentive to hire inexpensive, foreign labor under the guise of student training.
Never authorized by Congress, OPT circumvents the H-1B visa cap set by Congress by allowing over 100,000 aliens admitted into our country on student visas to continue working in the United States for another three years after completing their academic studies.
OPT incentivizes greedy businesses to fire Americans and replace them with inexpensive foreign labor by avoiding having to pay FICA and Medicare payroll taxes and other employee benefits. The OPT program completely abandons young Americans who have spent years and tens of thousands of dollars pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics only to be pushed out of those fields by cheap foreigners.
Our government should not be incentivizing foreign employees over Americans. This badly flawed government program should be eliminated,” said Representative Paul Gosar.
Background:
The Optional Practical Training program is a guest worker program administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service that was never authorized by Congress and was expanded by three years by the Obama Administration. OPT circumvents the H-1B cap by allowing over 100,000 aliens admitted as foreign students to work for up to three years in the United States after graduation. According to the Pew Research Center, the OPT program grew by 400% between 2008 and 2016 with 1.5 million foreign graduates of U.S. schools who used the program.
These foreign workers are exempt from payroll taxes making them at least 10-15 percent cheaper than a comparable American worker. NumbersUSA reports OPT costs the Social Security and Medicare trust fund $4 billion annually.
Congressman Gosar first introduced the Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act in the 116th Congressand has twice signed amicus briefs in support of American workers in their lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security to eliminate OPT.
The Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act does not prohibit F-1 students from working in the United States while in school. It simply terminates an unauthorized and unfair program that allows F-1 students to remain in the United States for another three years following the completion of their education.
