Critics warn that tighter immigration policies may force companies to lose top talent to competitors abroad, while also straining domestic efforts to train enough qualified professionals. The move raises concerns about long-term consequences for industries reliant on international expertise. Employers and advocates argue that skilled immigration remains critical to maintaining the U.S. edge in cutting-edge fields.
