More than 50 deans of U.S. business schools and 14 CEOs have signed a letter to President Donald Trump warning that this administration’s immigration policies are capping America’s economic growth and leaving a deficit of skills in key sectors, particularly STEM fields. The letter warns that “a combination of our outdated laws, artificial regional and skills-based caps on immigration and recent spikes in hostility are closing the doors to high-skilled immigrants our economy needs to thrive.”
Key points:
BAL Analysis: The letter calls the current skills deficit a “crisis” and the reduction in international students and turning away of thousands of prospective H-1B candidates every year a “dangerous negative trend” for the U.S. economy, but suggests the trend could be reversed with key policy changes that remove some of the limitations on high-skilled immigrants and ease barriers to employment of international students after graduating from U.S. schools.
