EXILE Act

United States119th CongressHR-7451House of Representatives
Updated: Feb 9, 2026

Summary

This legislative proposal, titled the "Ending Exploitative Imported Labor Exemptions Act" or "EXILE Act" , seeks to fundamentally alter the H-1B visa program. Its primary objective is to discontinue the issuance of new H-1B visas. The bill achieves this by amending Section 214(g)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Specifically, it mandates that the number of H-1B visas issued will be zero for fiscal year 2027 and all subsequent fiscal years, effectively phasing out the program after fiscal year 2026.
