America Must Reconsider Its Immigration Policy With Compassion

During his presidential campaign, now-President Donald J. Trump promised to deploy deportation forces to remove all undocumented ­immigrants from this country. Five days after his inauguration, on Jan. 25, Trump issued Executive Order 13768 to deliver on his promise. That same day, Trump issued Executive Order 13767, which purported to fulfill his promise to "build the wall" along the southern border of the United States. Executive Order 13769 followed on Jan. 27, which instituted a travel ban halting all refugee admissions and temporarily stopping travel from seven majority Muslim countries.

Is 2017 the Last Year of the H-1B Lottery for Professional Visas?

The continued growth of the economy, coupled with a lack of any meaningful business immigration reform, suggests that the perpetually oversubscribed H-1B quota will be exhausted for the next federal fiscal year (FY 2018) within the first days of the filing period, which begins April 3. At the same time, the current ­administration signaled during the campaign that it would be seeking reforms of the H-1B visa program, and since the election, several bills have been introduced to increase wage levels, give preference for H-1B visas to certain professionals, and to impose recruiting requirements on prospective H-1B employers. These changes are meant to lower demand for the H-1B visas, particularly among technology outsourcing companies that file significant numbers of H-1B petitions each year.
