Restrictive U.S. immigration policies under President Donald Trump are pushing talent and innovation out of America, with India emerging as a key beneficiary, Silicon Valley-based immigration expert Vivek Wadhwa said. 

Drawing on personal experience and research, Wadhwa told IANS the United States is losing its competitive edge as barriers to skilled migration rise. “We’re chasing the best and the brightest away… these backwards immigration policies… are doing a lot of damage now,” he said in an interview.
