Washington: A group of US legislators has reintroduced legislation into the House of Representatives to eliminate a program that allows foreign students to stay in the country for work after completion of their studies under certain conditions.

For this reason, the option should Be eliminated, “said Kevin Lynn, founder of US Techworkers.
