For\u00a0example,\u00a0CHLI believes all efforts should be made to expedite the transition to permanent legal status of qualified foreign undergraduate and graduate students studying in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> who seek such status.\u00a0We believe\u00a0an expanded H-1B, L-1, and EB visa program for professionals and highly skilled workers, and H-2B temporary visas that support seasonal industries and small businesses are critical to our national economy. CHLI further believes that improving the efficiency of the agricultural worker visa program (H-2A) will allow the U.S. to maintain a reliable agricultural workforce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CHLI also supports efforts to improve and modernize U.S. border security.\u00a0CHLI believes that delays, backlogs, and disruptions in the immigration and border management systems that impede the movement of people and legitimate cargo across U.S. borders must be addressed, and enforcement targeting human trafficking, drug smuggling, terrorism and counterfeit goods across U.S. borders is key to maintaining U.S. security and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p><b>About CHLI:<\/b>\u00a0The Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) is the premier organization founded by Members of Congress and corporate\u00a0leaders to advance the Hispanic community&#8217;s economic progress with a focus on social responsibility and global competitiveness.
