Episode description

A small number of people -- spouses of H1B visa holders -- were given the right to work under a special type of visa created under President Obama in 2015. Now President Trump wants to eliminate those spousal visas. How doing so threatens Silicon Valley's competitive edge, Bay Area diversity, and immigrant families. Guest: Rachael Myrow, KQED Silicon Valley reporter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
