Trump’s immigration policy wages war on Houston’s economic success

Trump’s immigration policy wages war on Houston’s economic success

The Houston Chronicle runs an op-ed from Charles C. Foster, a famous immigration attorney and policy expert, who points out that Trump and Stephen Miller are doing more to attack legal immigration than deport illegal immigrants — and Houston's economy will suffer as a result. Here is a key quote:

One-third of Houston’s workforce was born in another country. Whether we’re talking about doctors from India, programmers from Taiwan or engineers from Nigeria, our city’s economic success relies on our ability to recruit the best and brightest from around the world — and to hire top foreign students graduating from our universities.

President Donald Trump is essentially waging war on Houston’s economic success by undermining our ability to hire those top recruits. Anyone who cares about our city needs to start pushing back.
