No more H1-B visas in Texas for a year

Reuters is reporting that Texas governor Greg Abbot is telling Texas’s public universities and other agencies to stop asking for new H1-B visas. It will last until March 2027. 

I held that visa once, at a public university, which ultimately allowed me to work in Texas for 19 years.  Even though I haven't lived in Texas for a few years now, this feels sucky.
