Skilled Immigration

Blanket visa bans targeting countries like Venezuela are ensnaring lawful, model immigrants—including a San Francisco family celebrated for repeatedly intervening in crimes and emergencies in their neighborhood—who simply want a grandmother to visit her newborn grandson. The policy offers no mechanism to distinguish between bad actors and exactly the kind of people America's immigration system should welcome. The case is fueling a broader debate over whether blunt enforcement tools are undermining the skilled, legal immigration that has long been central to American competitiveness.
