“Two-income households are the norm in the modern economy – which is why allowing spouses of high-skilled visa holders to work in the US is just common sense,” said John Feinblatt, Chairman of New American Economy. “By ensuring that none of the world’s innovators are kept out of the United States because they’d have to leave their families, we can modernize our immigration system and help draw and retain even more top international talent.”
