Executive Order 13788 “Buy American and Hire American.”
On January 25, 2021, President Biden issued a new Executive Order 14005 entitled, “Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers.” The new EO revokes and replaces the ‘Buy American Hire American (EO 13788) that was published in April 2017.
On April 18, President Trump signed a new Executive Order 13788, entitled, “Buy American and Hire American.” The EO directs the various government agencies to review the current laws governing the H-1B program and suggest changes to prioritize the most skilled and highest paid positions. In addition, the President directed Federal agencies to review all nonimmigrant and immigrant visa programs and propose new rules and guidance eliminate fraud and abuse in order to protect U.S. workers. This order does not have an immediate impact on the H-1B program and many of the contemplated changes would require Congressional or regulatory action which will take some time. The staff of the ISSO will continue to monitor any potential changes to the H01B program and will continue to update various university stakeholders.
