- 1Immigration policy pushing foreign researchers out of the United States●Immigration changes are driving foreign researchers to leave the U.S.
Foreign-born scientists are leaving the United States as tougher immigration rules make it harder for them to stay and work, according to a STAT News survey of researchers. Respondents report visa delays, uncertainty over residency, and fears about their future in the country, prompting some to move to institutions in Europe, Canada, and Asia. Scientists and universities warn the exodus could weaken American research and scientific leadership.
