That Is wrong. Let us listen to business leaders and help them maintain and improve their competitiveness. When our premier global companies implore us to lift the HlB visa cap or risk hampering their growth. the time for politics Is over. We must simplify temporary entry for foreign workers who need to come to America to help our companies succeed. If we wish to remain a cuttingedge economy. we can no longer obstruct companies from training their overseas employees. participating In meetings and conferences. or traveling to trade shows. Our companies have global markets. global supply chains. and global strategies. We need a global workforce. Our current commitment of 65.000 H1B visas each year is outdated. It is outmoded and out of touch with todays needs. We should make a bold commitment to expand that cap. Such a commitment would allow us to lock in similar commitments from our trading partners and enhance exports and American services. We must actively encourage talented foreign students to study. do research. and innovate at American universities and American research institutions. Visa renewals during multiyear studies need to be routine. These renewals should not require all students to first return to their home countries. For the most exceptional of these students. who have earned advanced science degrees at American universities. we need a simpler process to obtain permanent residence.
