Trump Admin. Suspension Of Work Visas Could Hurt Local Tech Economy
ResumeA new executive order from the Trump administration will cut down the number of work visas granted to foreign employees through the end of this year.
The suspension of H-1B visas for skilled professionals could especially hurt the local economy, says Chris Anderson, president of the Massachusetts High Tech Council.
"The president's decision to extend limitations does not help support a sustained economy recovery, especially here, where we have such a tech-heavy presence," Anderson said.
Jeff Goldman, who runs the Cambridge-based law firm Jeff Goldman Immigration, joined WBUR's Morning Edition to talk more about this.
