House Democrats Add Immigration Expansion to Chinese Competition Bill

Recommended Posts

the bill exempts doctoral STEM graduates from numerical limitations on immigrant visas aliens who earned a doctoral degree from a foreign research institution. Congress would make better use of its time and the taxpayer’s resources by focusing on enhancing American-grown STEM talent. This provision undercuts provisions in this bill that encourage the cultivation of homegrown STEM researchers and professionals.

the America COMPETES Act creates a brand-new nonimmigrant visa category for “entrepreneurs and employees.” The bill establishes a new “W” category that includes [1] entrepreneurs with an ownership interest in a start-up entity, [2] essential employees of said entity, and [3] the spouses and children of both the entity’s owners and employees. All of these individuals can adjust their status and pursue legal permanent residence. This is nothing more than another “investor visa” category similar to the controversial EB-5 and E category investors. FAIR has long opposed these programs. Congress would be better served finding ways to encourage and build upon American entrepreneurial ventures, rather than establishing another “golden visa” program that degrades American citizenship by relegating it to a dollar amount.
