Texas public schools couldn’t sponsor H-1B visas to hire foreign workers under a ban Gov. Greg Abbott proposed Tuesday.
As part of an effort to target foreign influence in the state’s education systems, Abbott said he wants legislation to ensure “exactly zero” Texas public school employees are in the state on the federal visas. The governor said he would propose legislation to prohibit public schools from accepting gifts or entering into financial agreements with a foreign source, similar to what’s in place for Texas universities.
