Recently, Donald Trump’s Department of Justice addressed the issue of granting work permits to migrants, raising debates around legalities and economic impacts. Amidst a 2015 lawsuit challenging the work permits for H-1B workers’ spouses, the implications of facilitating H4EADs surfaced. This move, supported by the Obama administration, aimed to aid in talent retention but faced opposition for allegedly displacing American professionals. The debate encompasses legal, economic, and immigration policy dimensions.
