Rep. Kennedy, alongside President Trump, intends to impose higher costs on companies seeking to use the H-1B visa program in order to address the abuse of the program, stop the undercutting of wages, and protect our national security.

Kennedy says he will support higher H-1B visa fees to deter abuse of the program, protect wages, and strengthen national security.

Evidence

GovInfo lists H.R. 8335 as introduced by Mr. Kennedy of Utah and referred to the House Judiciary Committee on April 16, 2026. The full title says the bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to reform the H-1B nonimmigrant visa program, with exceptions for certain vital professions.

Concrete same-term action: Kennedy introduced a legal-immigration reform bill focused on the H-1B visa program. Because it was only introduced and referred to committee, it supports partial delivery rather than enacted delivery. No newer official action in the May 30-June 1, 2026 lookback was identified from this record.

Kennedy's official House release says he introduced the PROTECT Act of 2026 to address abuse of the H-1B program, raise the H-1B visa fee to $100,000, stop wage undercutting, and protect national security.

The official statement ties Kennedy's bill to reforming part of the legal immigration system while emphasizing worker protection and national security. It remains partial because it addresses only H-1B reform and does not show enactment or comprehensive system-wide delivery.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Kennedy took same-term legislative action by introducing H.R. 8335, the PROTECT Act of 2026, to reform the H-1B visa program and tie that reform to wage protection and national security. But the record only shows introduction and referral to committee, not enactment or implementation. Because the broader promised outcome was to fix the legal immigration system, and the cited action addresses only one legal-immigration program without becoming law, this counts as a serious effort rather than delivered fulfillment.
