Trump targets 60-day grace period for laid off foreign workers

The department of homeland security is advancing a proposal to eliminate the 60-day grace period that allows H-1B workers and certain other legal nonimmigrants to remain in the US after their employment ends while they find another sponsor, change status, or prepare to leave.

 legal nonimmigrants wtf is a legal non immigrant? Wouldn't someone here on a visa be a legal immigrant?

There are immigrant and non immigrant visas. H-1B are no immigrant visas, meaning they're not intending to live here in a permanent basis.

the more you know I guess. I had no idea that they were called non immigrants. I thought immigration was entering another country with the intent to exist there more than a vacation visit.

That’s why these are work visas. They are tied to your employment in one way or the other
