North Carolina Republican Representative Pat Harrigan will formally present the bill that would block visas for students, researchers and some professionals to stop Chinese, Russian, Iranian, North Korean and Cuban nationals from working in science, technology, engineering mathematics (STEM) roles in the U.S.
Under the bill, citizens from these five countries would be prevented from working in U.S. research labs and in STEM programs propped up by the U.S. government. It is expected it would impact Chinese nationals the most out of the five nations.
