Trump s immigration policy puts the brakes on American innovation Orange County Register

The U.S. government recently enacted what some experts have called “the most economically consequential policy of the Trump era.” That’s probably fair. After all, it’s set to burden the immigration system, undermine technological innovation and erect barriers for millions of people who want to work, study and raise their families in America.

Gopala left her birthplace of Bangalore, India, in 2002, even as many Americans lamented the outsourcing of tech jobs to that city. She became a citizen in 2013 and bought a suburban home a few years ago. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome)
