The Trump administration’s new immigration policy requiring most green card applicants to apply from their home countries has drawn criticism from leading U.S. technology entrepreneurs. Reid Hoffman questioned whether researchers, employees and students would now be forced to leave the country and wait through lengthy backlogs, warning of negative consequences for innovation. Andrew Ng called the measure a harmful attack on legal immigration that could reduce the number of doctors, teachers and scientists in the United States. Meanwhile, U.S. immigration authorities defended the policy, arguing it aligns with existing law, reduces system abuse and limits the risk of unlawful overstays. (PC: Reuters)
