The US – India Business Council (USIBC) has started lobbying for changes in the proposed immigration plan that restricts tech experts from India seeking employment in the United States.
USIBC President Ron Somers said, ‘USIBC supports the free movement of technical professionals. This freedom of movement is essential to US job creation, and is at the heart of our future economic prosperity… USIBC endorses immigration reform, but the legislation as currently written restricts a company`s ability to source skilled talent, which hamstrings American competitiveness.’
The USIBC also released a press statement about its venture to encourage exposure of American firms to international practices.’ The USIBC-led Coalition for Jobs and Growth believes that an open American economy helps give the United States the influence it needs to ensure that other economies stay open as well. India`s vast market can only be encouraged to open to global trade, facilitating greater American exports and investment, setting the standard for the protection of intellectual property, if the American market maintains highest standards and remains reciprocally open’, said the statement.
