The Real World Impact of Proposed High-Skilled Immigration Restrictions
Will America remain a land of opportunity for highly skilled and ambitious immigrants? The answer may be “no” if some members of Congress have their way. Bills by influential U.S. senators would virtually end high-skilled immigration to the United States, accomplishing this through numerous new restrictions that would force foreign nationals to be paid far more than comparable U.S. professionals, to leave the country after graduating from U.S. universities, and to compel their employers to face so many legal obstacles that fear of lawsuits or government investigators would encourage the hiring of high-skilled foreign nationals to take place outside of the United States.
