    | Since March 2020, the processing of any new visas has been
    | dramatically slowed and almost halted by travel restrictions," said
    | Giovanni Peri, a professor of economics at the University of
    | California, Davis. Some jobs in science, technology, engineering and
    | mathematics, or STEM, may be lost in the visa crunch for good as
    | remote work could offshore them outside of the US, according to
    | Peri.
    |
    | Many US visa processing locations have resumed at a slowed pace
    | after an abrupt suspension across all embassies and consulates in
    | 2020. Earlier this year, President Joe Biden allowed a Trump-era ban
    | on H-1B visas to expire.

    Does Donald Trump regret taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay
    the National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden and
    Kamala Harris?
