little more then conciliatory gestures from congress Doesn't look like it. H.R. 2702 “L-1 Non Immigration Reform Act” June 17, 2003: Rep Rosa DeLauro (CT-D 3rd) introduces H.R. 2702 “L-1 Non Immigration Reform Act”. The bill limits L-1s to 35,000 per year. Today, there is no limit. L-1s would also not be allowed to work on contract for “third parties”. There are a number of other protections for American workers including limitations on a company being able to lay off an American worker within plus-or-minus 6 months of an L-1 being hired. H.R. 2688 “Repeal of Authorities Relating to H-1b Visas for Temporary Workers” July 9, 2003: Rep Tom Tancredo (R-CO 6th) introduces H.R. 2688 “Repeal of Authorities Relating to H-1b Visas for Temporary Workers”.
