US immigration bill could lead to C’bean ‘brain drain’ – Lawyer

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Immigration and criminal defence lawyer Fitzmore Harris said the Caribbean and other developing nations need to prepare for the impending “brain drain” that will result from the US immigration reform.
“The Caribbean has to become more competitive regarding, for example, remuneration for their skilled people because if the flood gates open and the US makes it very easy for them to get the H1-B (work visa) it will be a problem,” he said.
“Developing countries need to start preparing for any eventualities.”
