Bernanke on Immigration
From Immigration Daily:
An USA Today editorial points out the self-defeating nature of our immigration policy which forces thousands of foreign graduates with sought-after skills and brainpower to leave the country. It quotes Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. ” “Our immigration laws discriminate pretty heavily against highly talented scientists and engineers who want to come to this country and be part of our technological establishment,” Bernanke told a congressional panel. By opening doors to more people with top technical skills, he predicted, “you’d keep companies here, and you’d have more innovation here, and you’d have more growth here.” ”
