Events Detail

Our immigration process needs help. Employers complain that they cannot find qualified workers, and the number of H1-B visas for the new fiscal year is exhausted on the first day visas become available. At the same time, foreign graduate students educated partly at U.S. taxpayer-expense are denied the opportunity to apply for job openings. What is the right balance between protecting national security and efficient functioning of our economy? Pia Orrenius, senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, will present data on the economic contributions of immigrants. Diana Furchtgott-Roth, senior fellow and director of Hudson's Center for Employment Policy, will moderate the discussion.
