Prioritizing American Talent Act

This bill would bar the Department of Homeland Security from using any of its funds, including immigration application fees, to process, approve, renew, or extend work authorization applications for foreign students on F or M visas, unless Congress has passed a law that expressly allows that employment. It would also cancel unspent money in the Immigration Examinations Fee Account that came from fees for these work authorization applications. The Secretary of Homeland Security would have 30 days after the bill becomes law to determine how much money is canceled.
