An executive recently discussed his company’s approach to immigration and hiring international talent. As an immigrant himself, he emphasized that immigration is the foundation of the “American dream”—the principle that hard work can lead to a better life in America. He shared that his parents were drawn to the U.S. by this promise of opportunity. To stay competitive, his company needs to recruit the world’s best talent. A new government requirement under the H-1B visa program has introduced a significant cost: an additional $100,000 to hire an employee from abroad. The executive confirmed his company will pay this fee to continue bringing in top professionals. While he views this policy as a good starting point for keeping talented foreign students in the U.S. after graduation, he also sees room for improvement. He pointed out a flaw by sharing his personal history; his family would not have been able to afford such a large fee. This means the current policy could prevent talented people from lower-income backgrounds from having the same chance he did. He remains hopeful that the policy will be enhanced to create more opportunities for everyone.
