ترامپ گفته می‌خواهد بعضی از کتگوری‌های ویزا مانند خواهر و برادر شهروند آمریکا یا لاتری ویزای گوناگونی را حذف کند، اما تنها کنگره می‌تواند کتگوری‌های ویزا را ایجاد یا حذف کند، و کنگره از سال ۱۹۹۰ تا به حال به طرز قابل توجهی حذف یا اضافه‌ای در کتگوری‌های ویزا انجام نداده است. یا تغییر در حق شهروندی متولدین آمریکا به اعتقاد کارشناسان نیاز به متمم قانون اساسی دارد.

مشاوران ترامپ می‌گویند او امیدوار است با صادر کردن سیاست‌هایی که می‌داند غیرقانونی اند شانس خود را برای متقاعد کردن دیوان عالی که اکثریت قضاتش محافظه‌کارند بیازماید.

Former Trump White House advisor turned MAGA-world podcaster, Steve Bannon, called for a total freeze of all immigration into the United States on Tuesday.

Even after Trump waded into a clash among his supporters over the use of highly-skilled worker visas, it’s not clear whether Republicans will seek to address the visa issue in the border bill. During Trump’s first term, some Republican lawmakers sought to restrict some legal immigration and give preferential treatment to high-skilled immigration.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a growing vested financial interest in the federal government continuing the highly controversial H-1B visa program that imports foreign workers – mostly from India – to take white-collar American jobs, new data reveals.

They were desperate to remain in the country, but because H-1B visas are owned by the employer, they had few options for doing so.
That’s why these workers stay compliant and cheap: They can’t leave the companies that control the visas. If they were really top talent, they should be getting green cards, not enduring six years of underpaid servitude.

The Department of State completed a successful pilot program to renew of H-1B visas in the United States this year.  This allowed many specialty occupation workers from India to renew their visas without leaving the United States.  This pilot program streamlined the renewal process for thousands of applicants, and the Department of State is working to formally establish a U.S.-based renewal program in 2025.

جمهوریخواهان قصد دارند یک لایحه بزرگ را از طریق اصلاح بودجه به تصویب برسانند. در این روش حد نصاب لازم در سنا از ۶۰ رای به ۵۰ رای کاهش می‌یابد. این لایحه قرار است مفاد گوناگونی از جمله مالیات، تعرفه‌ها و مهاجرت را در بر بگیرد. پارلمانتر سنا در گذشته جلوی استفاده از این روش برای وضع تغییرات بزرگ در قانون مهاجرت را گرفته و آن را محدود به موارد مرتبط با بودجه‌ کرده است. باید دید آیا تغییرات مهاجرتی‌ای در این لایحه گنجانده خواهد شد یا نه.

Moving to an auction in the H-1B arena would be a boon to firms looking to hire high-value workers, including both large U.S. companies with high ability to pay and smaller firms who currently shun the H-1B program because they cannot risk lottery uncertainty. The main losers would be the outsourcing firms that draw ire from so many H-1B opponents.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated to us that he’d oppose efforts to overrule the Senate’s parliamentarian if certain GOP border security and tax provisions are ruled inconsistent with budget reconciliation rules.

According to DOL, the agency is currently processing PERM applications filed in September 2023. On average, DOL is adjudicating PERMs in approximately 468 days – this is over 15 months.

We do not anticipate PERM processing times improving in the near future. These long processing times for both prevailing wage determinations and PERM applications is a serious problem that will continue for not only foreign workers, but employers as well.

Improvements to the resettlement system are easy for a future administration to undo, and with Trump returning to the White House, refugee admissions are likely to fall. It's not yet clear which changes Trump will impose or how deeply they will affect people seeking protection, but it would be a mistake for America to abandon its opportunity to welcome refugees and benefit from their presence.

The justices are more deferential to asserted national security concerns than economic ones.
If the Trump administration can make out a plausible national security interest, they’re more likely to prevail in immigration matters that come before the court
