Continued Assault on High-Skilled Immigration: The idea that the Trump administration favors “merit-based” immigration has proven to be a myth, as evidenced by the most anti-high-skill immigration regulatory agenda in modern history. The Department of Homeland Security’s agency rule list for 2018 includes rescinding both the International Entrepreneur Ruleand work authorization for the “H-4 Dependent Spouses” of H-1B visa holders. (See here why denying H-1B spouses the right to work is a bad idea.)

The Trump administration also plans to enact a series of regulatory measures to restrict the ability of high-skilled foreign nationals to work in America. First, it plans to “revise the definition of specialty occupation” for H-1B visa holders. (The administration recently restricted who can qualify as an economist on a TN visa.) The H-1B changes, which could include wage changes, according to DHS, are “to increase focus on obtaining the best and the brightest foreign nationals via the H-1B program.” This means the federal government will decide whether an individual would be a valuable employee, rather the company that would actually employ the person.

Second, DHS plans to change the H-1B lottery used to award H-1Bs when the category is oversubscribed, which happens every year due to a combination of the low annual limit (0.05% of the U.S. labor force) and the strong demand for technical skills in the U.S. economy. Skewing the lottery toward those with the highest salaries would likely disadvantage international students, who usually cannot demand large salaries right out of school.

Third, DHS will “revise the definition of employment and employer-employee relationship to better protect U.S. workers and wages,” which could mean additional restrictions aimed at information technology companies.

Fourth, the clearest evidence that skill or education level is not relevant in the eyes of the current administration is the plan to restrict the ability to stay in the U.S. of even individuals with the highest levels of education and the most sought-after skills on the planet. “Immigration and Customs Enforcement will issue a proposed rule that comprehensively reforms the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for foreign students,” according to the law firm Berry Appleman & Leiden. “The Trump administration has already indicated that it will limit the work opportunities available to foreign students and is likely to rescind Obama’s STEM-OPT Extension rule that expanded the extensions of OPT for foreign nationals holding U.S. degrees in STEM fields from 17 months to 24 months.” (See here and herefor more background.)

Finally, as if those measures were not sufficient to push high-skilled people away from the U.S., news emerged from McClatchy that the administration is considering rescinding measures that allow individuals waiting years for employment-based green cards to extend their H-1B status beyond 6 years, which has been part of U.S. law since 2000. “The idea is to create a sort of ‘self- deportation’ of hundreds of thousands of Indian tech workers in the United States to open up those jobs for Americans,” according to a “U.S. source briefed by Homeland Security officials.”

Of course, it is economic ignorance of the highest order to assume that removing highly skilled people from their long-tenured jobs will “open up those jobs for Americans,” rather than push more work outside of the U.S., diminish the supply of human capital in America and reduce the demand for labor in the United States. Such a policy action would mistreat human beings and their families who have waited years for permanent residence in America.

Proposals can change through the process, must go through rule making and could be subject to litigation. Timing is not certain, though the H-4 and International Entrepreneur Rule appear ready for action in the first part of 2018. One should also pay attention to the arguments used in any proposed rules, since sweeping assertions about the executive branch lacking the authority to issue work authorization would inspire a legal challenge.
