Be in the know about how a Biden administration could dictate the fate of U.S. immigration policy for the next four years. 

As we look ahead to 2021 and a new administration and Congress, a fair employment-based immigration system is integral to meet labor demands and build a competitive and innovative workforce. This informative panel will outline what employers can expect from the incoming Biden-Harris administration and how this could reshape U.S. immigration policy over the next four years. 

Workplace immigration has been at the forefront of the national dialogue. As our workforces have navigated new challenges and changes, visa programs that allow organizations to hire, transfer and retain top talent remain critical. This year, the business community has seen travel restrictions and expedited non-immigrant visa regulations issued at a rapid rate, underscoring the need for a modern workplace immigration system that allows employers to access top global talent while also protecting workers.

This engaging panel brings together former policy experts from the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations for a timely discussion on the potential immigration agenda of President-elect Joe Biden, as well as the future of workplace immigration policy in the U.S.

Learning Objectives:

  • What’s ahead for the future of U.S. immigration policy.
  • What employers can expect from the incoming Biden administration in 2021 and beyond.
  • What do employers need to know about potential changes to U.S. immigration policy.
