America needs immigration reform, or it risks of losing an entire generation of tech workers to countries like Canada, the UK, and Japan
Varun Negandhi always intended to one day join the ranks of the US' great immigrant tech-startup founders.
He started to look for a new country in which to settle his family that had friendlier visa terms — and found one very close to home. Negandhi's story epitomizes a trend that should trouble America and its storied tech industry. Foreign-born workers are increasingly going to countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Australia, where they're freer to find a job or start their own company without having to deal with America's immigration system, which many consider nightmarish and outdated.
Without change, and fast, experts say this could mean an entire lost generation of tech talent for American tech.
