Stronger Together: Building an Inclusive System of Supports for Immigrant Families During the Pandemic, and Always  

Center for the Study of Social Policy (July, 2020) 

Despite the passage of emergency response packages directed at providing coronavirus relief, this legislation has systematically excluded many immigrants. In response, many states and localities and philanthropic and community-based organizations have provided critical support during this time. However, their ability to deliver needed services is limited. This brief offers information for policymakers seeking to build a more comprehensive and inclusive system that centers immigrant families in COVID-19-related federal actions.

Broad and Blunt, the Trump Administration’s H-1B Changes Miss the Opportunity for Real Reform

Sarah Pierce, Migration Policy Institute (October 2020)

The H-1B visa program had not seen major changes since 1990.  The Trump administration has now made a significant change to try and ensure that workers that are citizens of the United States (U.S.) would not be replaced with immigrants.  This will limit U.S. businesses from being able to hire skilled immigrant workers.  The H1-B program is the primary option for immigrants to obtain employment in the United States.
