Letter to House International Relations Chairman Henry Hyde (R-IL) criticizing the L Visa Reform Act

June 24, 2004

In a letter sent today to House International Relations Chairman Henry Hyde (R-IL), Compete America criticized the L Visa Reform Act.

"We write to state our strong opposition to the recently introduced 'Save American Jobs Through L Visa Reform Act of 2004' (H.R. 4415). This legislation, if enacted, would cripple the ability of international employers to transfer and retain managers and executives and specialized knowledge employees from abroad, who are essential to maintaining and expanding business operations in the United States. We believe this legislation is overly broad, would place U.S. companies at an extreme competitive disadvantage and would jeopardize current and future foreign investment in the United States."
