Protect International Workers: Submit a Comment to DHS

UAW members are mobilizing against a burdensome new rule, the latest in a sequence of xenophobic directives coming from the Trump administration.

Recently, the Department of Homeland Security published a rule that shortens the length of time international students and scholars on F and J visas may remain in the U.S. before applying for a visa renewal, as well as imposes restrictions on graduate students seeking to change programs.

These rules are designed to add layers of bureaucracy to an already daunting and complicated process, and they would further discourage international students and scholars from coming to the U.S. If implemented, this rule would negatively impact thousands of UAW academic workers nationwide.

All UAW members are invited to take a few minutes to submit a public comment—tell DHS how this rule change will harm your teaching and research, hurt higher education, and restrict workers’ rights.
