Texas governor Greg Abbott has ordered all public K-12 (Kindergarten through the 12th grade) schools and universities to provide a complete list of employees working on H-1B visas, saying there is “no reason” for foreign workers to be employed in public schools.
Abbott said his office is examining whether taxpayer dollars are being used to fund specialty visas for highly skilled workers in the state’s public education system, he said on a radio show on Monday.
