Staying Ahead of the Curve: U.S. Immigration UpdatesWith President Biden taking office on January 20, welook forward to partnering with his administration andadvocating for a new vision for America’s immigrationsystem. While we expect many announcements in theinitial months, the real, lasting work of overturning thedeleterious policies of the Trump administration andimplementing a new vision will take time. More thanever, America needs the brightest, most talented, andhardest-working people the world has to offer. Theobjective of immigration policy should be to affirmAmerica as the land of opportunity. The United Statesis home to about 45 million immigrants who come fromall over the world hoping to build a better life. They areentrepreneurs and innovators, bringing with them theskills America needs to compete in the global economy.They fill critical gaps in America’s labor force byperforming work our economy requires and keepingour workforce vibrant as our population ages. TheUnited States is only realizing a fraction of the potentialthat immigrants represent because of complex lawsand outdated priorities. America can be both awelcoming nation and a secure nation. Pro-growthimmigration reform is an economic imperative.
