U.S. Immigration focuses on U.S. Immigration Policy: According to the U.S. Chinese Times, recently, at a discussion on high-skilled immigration reform, U.S. Senator John Delaney from Maryland pointed out that promoting high-skilled immigration is greatly beneficial to the U.S. economy and the lives of its citizens.
He expressed regret that comprehensive immigration reform, which was once close to realization, is still making no progress, stating that immigration reform must "face reality" and can first proceed through high-tech immigration legislation. U.S. Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin also supports passing some bills first but emphasizes border security more. Business representatives and experts present offered several suggestions regarding high-skilled immigration.
He believes that, on one hand, comprehensive immigration reform still needs to be advanced, such as facilitating the legalization of undocumented immigrants, but on the other hand, it is necessary to "face reality" and take "development" as the main goal, using immigration reform related to economic promotion as a starting point, such as quickly passing legislation to expand high-skilled immigration programs to attract talent through relevant visas and green cards.
In response to concerns that H1B visa holders may depress U.S. wages, Delaney stated that businesses will manage the balance between wages and development.
