Skilled Immigration Reform

Innovation stems from attracting the brightest people in the world. Our policies should attract rather than discourage intellectual capital. To restore our economy, we need to do everything we can as a nation to attract the best and the brightest to come and stay in the United States. 

Latest Developments

Innovative immigrants have always been - and will continue to be - central to America's growth, job creation and global competitiveness.
 
Policies that support skilled immigration:

  • H1B visa reform so that foreign graduates of U.S. schools can become American entrepreneurs and fuel innovation and economic growth in our country, not abroad.
  •  Allow a quick path to citizenship for entrepreneurs.
  • Create criteria and a process for granting citizenship to qualified immigrants.

The Innovation Movement supports the Startup Act 3.0 as well the Immigration Innovation Act of 2013 (I-Squared Act). 


TAKE ACTION: Now is the Time for Immigration Reform! Did you know that immigrants with advanced degrees boost employment for U.S. natives? Nonetheless, the U.S. trains and educates tens of thousands of foreign students every year, only to kick them out after graduation, so they can create businesses and jobs elsewhere.
America’s legal immigration system is outdated. Stand up with us today and ask Congress to pass strategic immigration reforms to ensure America’s doors are open for innovators of tomorrow!

Currently, two bills in the Senate, the Startup Act 3.0 and the Innovation Immigration (I-Squared) Act of 2013 would help solve the problem of immigration reform. Tell your Senator to support these bills to spur American jobs!
