Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is ordering state agencies and public universities in Texas to halt new petitions for H-1B visas. In a letter to Texas state agency heads on Tuesday, Abbott wrote that there had been "recent reports of abuse" in the program, which is designed to bring high-skilled foreign workers to the United States. "Texas state agencies and institutions of higher education collectively employ hundreds of thousands of Texans and have a significant role in shaping the State's labor market," Abbott wrote.

We know that state employees are just as - if not more -productive when they're working from home. So, I think we just kind of saw the backlash from that.
