Business groups that argued during the Trump administration that the ban disrupted companies’ operations and slowed the country’s economic recovery are now offering another objection. “Unfortunately, the imposition of [the ban] has kept U.S. citizens and permanent residents separated from their parents, adult children, siblings and fiancés." Business leaders say they need the restrictions lifted quickly because there aren’t American workers who can fill their very specific needs. They also say companies need to plan for an improving economic outlook and temporary summer hiring. The ban also applies to top foreign executives of multinational companies, who typically use L-1 visas to make internal transfers.
