'Dangerous,' 'short-sighted': Tech companies blast Trump's visa crackdown

Technology company executives are blasting President Donald Trump’s executive order that freezes new visas for foreign workers.

The order itself may not end up providing a substantial blow to the industry. Immigration experts said the order would have a muted impact on Silicon Valley because it exempts anyone who’s already in the U.S. Story continuesTech companies were early and vocal critics of Trump’s immigration policies three years ago after he took office, and this time, the industry says the supply of skilled labor from abroad is essential to reviving the economy from the pandemic-induced recession.

The order goes into effect Wednesday and will bar the issuance of some new H-1B visas, which generally go to tech workers. It also restricts H-2B visas for low-skill jobs, J visas for those participating in work and student exchanges and L visas for intracompany transfers. The suspension will last until December 31.
