随着美国失业率接近两位数,就业机会不断减少,而限制移民的呼声却越来越高。支持加强相关法规的人士甚至主张美国公民应该得到第一优先的就业机会。奥巴马政府已表示下半年将会推动综合移民改革方案,但目前还不清楚是否会通过相关立法及会对技术移民带来什么影响。一个悬而未决的问题是如何定义“技术”移民。尽管许多政治家会支持相关吸引受教育良好的高收入人才的政策,但对于持H-1B签证来纽约工作的外国人,争议却越来越多。
Skilled Immigrants on Why They're Leaving the U.S.
Lured by the prospect of climbing to the top of his field, New Delhi native Swaroop Ganguly came to the U.S. 10 years ago and earned a PhD in electrical and computer engineering(电子及计算机工程学博士学位) from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005. He became an expert in an emerging technology called spintronics(自旋电子学), used to power semiconductors(半导体), and worked at several chip companies, including Freescale Semiconductor(飞思卡尔半导体). But Ganguly, now 32, is moving back to India this summer. Although he has been doing postdoctoral work at the University of Texas, he figures his prospects for research and professional development are probably better in his home country. "I feel quite excited about going back," he says.
Ganguly has already accepted a job as a professor of electrical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology(印度技术学院), Bombay. The position will pay a fraction of the salary he had been earning in the private sector—about $15,000 compared with $100,000—but it will offer considerably more job security and the freedom to do the exploratory research he wants to do. "The real lure of being in the U.S. is to do really innovative work, but the space for that seems to be shrinking," he says. "The Indian government is putting a huge amount of funding into science and technology, so even if they can't pay high salaries, it's an attractive prospect."
