New studies demonstrate need for Hatch immigration bill
SALT LAKE CITY—Senator Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, issued the following statement following the National Foundation for American Policy’s release of two studies that highlight the economic benefits of the high-skilled immigration visa program, and criticize legislative proposals to restrict it:
“In today’s technology-driven economy, we must ensure that high-skilled professionals from other countries who wish to work in the United States can come here and stay here. That’s why I joined Senators Rubio, Coons, and Klobuchar in introducing the bipartisan Immigration Innovation “I-Squared” Act. This commonsense legislation will boost productivity and strengthen American ingenuity by allowing companies to hire more high-skilled immigrants, including engineers, scientists, and software developers that help Utah companies compete on a global scale.”
Senator Hatch introduced the bipartisan Immigration Innovation “I-Squared” Act of 2015 last January. You can find out more about it here.
