Do U.S. voters realize the scale and cost of the 47th #POTUS's *drastic* #immigration "slow-walking"?

This backlog is bigger than ALL FOUR YEARS of the 45th POTUS's term.

It's stopped TONS of #science by removing work authorization from LOADS of #scientists who were ALREADY LEGALLY WORKING HERE FOR YEARS (e.g., when graduating Ph.D. #students or #postdocs have to transition to an H-1B #visa when OPT expires).

We had to halt multiple #decisionScience projects when a Research Project Manager completed their doctorate. Why? Because #USCIS simply isn't processing certain #OPT applications — and #H1B processing is much slower than normal times. In the past year, the #UnitedStates multiplied this loss of #innovation and #productivity by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS! And with no detectable benefit to #security, etc.

Naturally, the highest-skilled foreign nationals are taking their skills to other countries, contributing to further #brainDrain from the #USA.

Incredible waste and inefficiency.

Rising visa costs in Australia could disrupt research pipelines, making it harder for scientists to stay between jobs.

‘Unaffordable’ visa price hike threatens Australia’s researcher pipeline

Doubling of the cost of a key visa used by graduates to stay in the country between jobs has sparked critique and consternation.

@amreibahr.bsky.social hat hier ⬇️ nochmal Gründe gegen die Befristung von #PostDocs angeführt und plädiert, sie vom #WissZeitVertragsG auszunehmen. Ich poche in allen Gremien auf das Streichen von „Nachwuchs“-Begründungen. Auch wenn ich das Gesetz nicht ändern kann. open.spotify.com/episode/1uGY...
