Other than undocumented immigrants with immediate relatives in the United States, the tech sector is believed to be one of those who will benefit from the proposed overhaul of the US immigration system. Marshall Fitz implied that with Democratic and Republican support coupled with the tech industry, comprehensive immigration reform might just have found its special formula that will make it across the finish line this time.
For the past years, it has been clear that the main issues of the nation’s immigration laws have greatly affected the technology sector. Dane Stangler, research and policy director at the Kauffman Foundation, agrees in saying that the nation must maintain a dynamic economy and embracing immigrant entrepreneurs is necessary.
Tech companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, Intel and Facebook are one in believing that there is a pool of highly-skilled immigrant workers in the U.S. that they want to tap into. This concerted effort of tech industry giants is poised to be one major factor in influencing comprehensive immigration reform.
