ACG-SV: The Silicon Valley Talent Footprint & the Importance of Highly Skilled Immigration |
|
|
|
|
|
Silicon Valley, like so many communities across our country,
has been built by immigrants. From Facebook to Google to
Intel, immigrant-founded companies fuel employment, create
American jobs, and boost our economy.
Despite the countless contributions of immigrants to our
industry, our fundamentally broken immigration system
continues to make it difficult (and sometimes impossible) for
entrepreneurs to grow their companies here. We face startling
shortages in STEM-related fields while thousands of talented,
hardworking entrepreneurs are mired in red tape.
Stanford president John Hennessy, speaking at the 10th annual
GROW awards, said he would staple an H1-B Visa Card to every
STEM-related graduate degree if he could. Leaders in our
industries realize increasingly that these structural problems
need legislative solutions, and the tech community has the
opportunity to advocate for those changes.
Immigration and visa reform are broadly popular initiatives.
Unfortunately, our broken political system has prevented good
solutions from becoming law. We know the answers—the question
now is, how do we get our government to act?
Join us for a conversation about the intersection of tech and
politics, lessons learned in the fight for Immigration Reform,
and what it all means for the future of Silicon Valley.
