There are numerous ways to improve our immigration system while safeguarding the American labor force (and I say “force” because it truly is capable, creative, and powerful).

Here are two straightforward steps to start the process:

1. Immigration policy must be designed to protect the American way of life and its workforce. Singapore’s work permit program, which they designed in the '90s, was built from this standard and could provide good inspiration. They use a modern-day designation system to manage the influx of labor across various sectors.

  • Employers face levies (essentially fees that employers have to pay for each foreign worker they hire. It's a way to manage the number of foreign workers coming in by making it more expensive to employ them, encouraging companies to also look for talent locally).
  • There are Dependency Ceilings, which essentially limit the number of foreign workers based on the local workforce—this is KEY.
  • They impose restrictions on the countries from which workers can come.
  • Permits are diversified across industries to ensure balance.

2. Special economic zones are amazing and can transform local tech job markets. Hiring locally is going to be critical for making sure Americans are taking key tech industry roles AND able to support their families
