Indiaspora, a US-based non-profit representing the Indian diaspora, has warned that proposed immigration restrictions targeting H-1B visa holders could harm the US economy. The group highlighted Indian-origin professionals' vital roles in healthcare, technology, and education, noting that measures like increased petition fees, replacing the lottery with a wage-based system, and eliminating grace periods may disadvantage early-career workers and strain workforce shortages. Indiaspora urged political leaders to reject anti-Indian rhetoric, emphasizing potential economic and bilateral partnership risks.
