Steve Yale-Loehr was quoted by the Times of India in Immigration Debate Tone May Change and Democratic Win May Soften U.S. Immigration Rhetoric; No Immediate H-1B Relief. He said that the change in congressional control would not translate immediately into immigration reform. “President Trump is still president, and he controls the immigration agencies. Even if the Democrats pass positive immigration laws, President Trump can veto them. However, the Democrats can hold hearings and investigations to try to persuade the U.S. public that immigration benefits, not hurts, the country. That way they will lay the groundwork for possible true immigration reform in 2029, assuming the Democrats control Congress then and there is a Democratic president then.”
