He says he is protecting american jobs but the concern s could it hurt Silicon Valley companies who rely on foreignborn tech markers, joining me is a specialist in the rise of tech in the bay area. Wrote the book, the code, remarking mark. Lets start with what the executive order means in general. In general, its 60 days of barring a lot of categories of immigrants to the United States. And its a continuation of a series of measures that the Trump Administration has proposed or enacted since it came in office since 2017 that really e restricted immigration and refugee programs. Does the order itself mention the visa workers . I was looking for it and didnt find it. If it doesnt, why do you they is going to impact bay area workers . Well, i think for a couple reasons. It does not mention h 1 b visas. It does talk about nonimmigrant cat goishs. It says guest workers in agriculture, that is very important to the california economy too. But its in that category as well. Its an a nonimmigrant visa. While it doesnt single them out, it does create uncertainty for the tech work worse are here on visas, attached to tech jobs, whether its going to are be reviewed, what the long term status might be. And not every tech worker who is foreign born is a visa holder. A lot of people are green card holders, naturalized citizens. Its very much a story of immigration.

Is there a concern the workers who are already here could face problems or could their visa expire and not be renewed . What is the status . With the 60 day wait, the government is at a stand still with a shelter at home. Yeah, well, i think the operative word here is u uncertainty. Is it going to be 60 days or longer . Right now, president ts execute order applying to people who are not in the country and want to come here. There are a lot of Tech Companies who want to bring people in. They want to come to the bay area and work at areas and that is going to be much harder for him to cothat.

Is there the potential for emerging competition, and they are growing, and people might opt to maybe not take the chance to go through this and they will lure some of the koefted workers this toews sectors instead. There is a real chance there. For decades, america in particularly california and Silicon Valley for were the only game in town. You often wanted to end up here. Is where you wanted to come. This is where the innovation was happeninging. Now you have really blooming Innovation Companies all over world. Its not the a place. Its a global network. And this a real opportunity for other places that are more welcoming not only of people from their country, and people from elsewhere to come in inknow vat and build companies.
