Biden’s H-1B visa promise
Moe Vela, former advisor to Biden during his vice presidency days with Barack Obama, believes that Trump’s ban on H-1B visas is just another example of racism and discrimination.
“They’re knowledge workers, and they’re computer-based workers,” he told Business Insider in June. Given those parameters, a ban on H-1B visas may keep them from entering the US, but they can still keep their jobs and work just as well from other countries.
Just last week, the US Department of Homeland Security issued a $4 with a wage-based selection process that will prioritise higher salaries. While that may admittedly be good for employees looking to get hired a fair way, it also makes it more expensive for countries like India to send their workforce abroad for projects.
This is why it's significant that one of Biden’s promises includes reforming the H-1B visa system. "High skilled temporary visas should not be used to disincentivize recruiting workers already in the U.S. for in-demand occupations,” says his $4.
Biden’s plans include supporting the expansion of the number of high-skilled visas and eliminating the limits on employment-based visas by country, which create unacceptably long backlogs.
