The HN headline here is misleading to the point of being wrong: It is implying that some legal process is changing (or has recently changed), which is not true. The article is about a group of companies lobbying for changes to citizenship laws.

I don't have an opinion on the topic one way or the other, but I get mighty riled up when I read breathtakingly inaccurate headlines.

It was blatantly editorialized. The original is "Tech companies urge U.S. to let the kids of visa holders stay past the age of 21"
There are (at least) two interpretations of the title, I think:

- [event] A policy change has taken place and the legal residency status of the children of tech workers in the U.S.A. has been altered

- [fact] Many children of tech workers lose their legal residency status in the U.S.A.
