‘Could cripple US tech for more than a generation’: Microsoft President Brad Smith on Trump’s green-card curbs

Microsoft President and Vice Chair Brad Smith has warned that the Trump administration’s move to restrict green-card access for skilled foreign workers could weaken the US technology sector and push talent towards other countries, Politico reported.

In an interview with Politico’s Decoded, Smith said blocking pathways to permanent residency for highly skilled immigrants could cripple the US technology industry for more than a generation.
