The End of a Safety Net: What's at Stake for Immigrant Workers in America The US Department of Homeland Security has proposed eliminating the 60 day grace period that allows immigrants on temporary work visas, including H 1B holders, to stay in the country after losing their job.
This change would force them to depart as soon as their employment ends.
Immigration advocates and experts are concerned about the impact this proposal will have on foreign nationals working in America and on employers who rely on these workers.
