Expert Analysis - United States Immigration & the US presidential election: What’s at stake for US companies Share this article LinkedIn Facebook X (Twitter) November 1, 2020 The U.S. immigration system is at a critical crossroads, and the upcoming election will decide which path it takes into the foreseeable future. In the last four years, the Trump administration has dramatically reshaped business immigration by introducing executive actions and changes at the administrative level that have curtailed virtually every route for high-skilled foreign workers. The COVID-19 pandemic has compounded the restrictions and ground travel to a halt, with new travel bans and consulate closures that have further slowed visa and immigration processing, with demand further diminished by the COVID economic slowdown.
