Immigration is a hot topic, especially in border states like Texas. In this article featured in Texas Lawyer, Sang Shin highlights the often-overlooked business side of immigration, showing how employment-based visas and investment options significantly boost the U.S. economy. Key Points: ? Employment-Based Visas: Visas like H-1B, L-1, and O-1 fill critical labor market gaps. ? Investment Programs: The EB-5?and E-2 visa programs attract foreign investment, creating jobs and stimulating growth. ? Economic Benefits: Business immigration addresses labor shortages, fosters innovation, and brings in capital. Immigrant workers have driven 88% of labor force growth since 2019. ? Risks of Reduction: Cutting immigrant labor could worsen labor shortages, stifle innovation, and reduce investment, raising costs for businesses and consumers.
