Bill requiring federal agencies to hire American citizens and prioritize domestic workers.
The problem
Concerns that federal agencies hire too many foreign workers instead of American citizens for government jobs.
The proposal
Requires federal agencies to prioritize hiring American citizens and may restrict hiring of foreign workers for government positions.
The impact
Federal employees, job seekers, and immigrant workers. Affects who can work for the U.S. government and hiring practices.
Prioritizing American citizens for federal jobs could create more employment opportunities for U.S. workers. This may particularly help citizens competing for stable government positions with good benefits.
If fewer foreign workers are hired, American applicants may face less competition for federal jobs. This could increase hiring rates for U.S. citizens.
Supporters argue that prioritizing American citizens in federal positions could strengthen national security by ensuring government roles go to citizens.
During economic downturns, protecting federal jobs for Americans helps domestic workers keep income and benefits.
Restricting foreign worker hiring may limit agencies' ability to fill specialized positions quickly. Some jobs may be harder to staff if qualified American candidates aren't available.
Foreign workers and visa holders currently working or seeking federal jobs would have fewer opportunities. This affects people who came legally to work.
Limiting the hiring pool may force agencies to spend more on recruiting or training, or leave positions unfilled longer. This could waste taxpayer money.
Strict hiring rules based on citizenship could raise legal questions about fair employment practices and equal opportunity laws.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
