FIRST ON FOX: Republicans move to kill a payroll tax loophole that gives employers a financial incentive to hire foreign students over American graduates — after ICE uncovered 10,000 'phantom workers' exploiting the system. Rep. Glenn Grothman's OPT Fair Tax Act would force employers to pay the same Social Security and Medicare taxes for foreign OPT workers that they already pay for domestic hires. The bill targets a pipeline that averages 330,000 foreign student workers annually. Closing the loophole could generate up to $36 billion in federal revenue over 10 years.
