A recent article explains the recent discussion between the Business group leaders and Congress on the aspects of Biden’s immigration plan.
“The talks have focused on finding areas of bipartisan consensus that can help advance an overall package, including keeping science-technology-engineering-math graduates in the U.S.; providing legal status for so-called Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children; and streamlining the employment-based visa system.”
As we explained in our post and in our Telegram channel, President Biden has introduced a legislative agenda for immigration.
According to this article, “Biden’s proposal attempts to keep overseas students who earn advanced science and technology degrees in the U.S. by giving them a faster track to permanent residence. It would help guest workers who already hold H-1B visas by making work authorization for their dependents permanent, and preventing their children from aging out of the system.”
“Biden’s plan also acknowledges concerns of labor groups. It grants the Department of Homeland Security the power to raise or lower the number of green cards available based on economic conditions and enact rules to encourage “higher wages for non-immigrant, high-skilled visas to prevent unfair competition with American worker.”
