"Given their obvious academic and innovation contributions to US academia and economy, one would expect that foreign-born researchers would be welcomed with open arms. In practice, however, they continue to face significant barriers to enter and participate in the US research enterprise. The most commonly discussed obstacles are the various forms of visa barriers faced by immigrant researchers, which have also been leveraged as a form of control of researchers in already vulnerable and precarious positions"
