Compete America is a coalition representing corporations, universities, research institutions and trade associations that advocate for reform of United States immigration policy for highly educated foreign-born professionals.

Compete America supports the idea that scientists, researchers, and engineers will continue to be in demand and drive economic growth and job creation.^[1] Because of this, they argue that arbitrarily low visa quotas and massive backlogs in the system plague the employment- based visa process.

Compete America's legislative goals are:^[1]

• The end of arbitrary obstacles to employment and permanent residency for foreign-born master’s and Ph.D. graduates from U.S. universities
• A streamlined green card process
• A market-based H-1B visa cap
