I don't think you have the background knowledge about H1B and H4 visas. How the system worked is basically a person gets H1B visa, moves to US with his family. Or, has H1B visa and marries later. Now the spouse is under H4 visa. It means s/he cannot work till the person with H1B visa is very close to getting green card. Effectively, it means that the spouse has to stop career for close to 10 years. Obama administration allowed H4 visa holders to work under certain conditions. Jeff Sessions (who is considered racist at worst, to racially insensitive at best) has no desire to support that resolution after it was challenged in court. So this has not much to do with whether it is immigrant or non-immigrant visa. Here is a video posted on the website of groups fighting for removal of H4 work permit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyh_q4uxG4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyh_q4uxG4o
