Trump Admin To Stop Giving Permits To Spouses Of High-Skilled Immigrants

The Trump administration is putting into effect its plan to stop giving work permits to spouses of high-skilled visa holders, likely to be a tremendous blow to the tech industry.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, this would affect about 100,000 workers, most of whom live in California.
The Obama administration originally set up the H-4 permit program to help attract high-skilled workers from places like India, and to help their families stay in America with them while waiting to get their green cards.
Repealing the program will split apart families already settled in the U.S. and likely deter highly educated immigrants from coming and doing critical work in the tech industry.
