New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in a commencement address
http://www.philly.com/inquirer/opinion/20080521_demand_true_change_from_presidential_candidates.html
to University of Pennsylvania graduates, argued "For America,
the key to innovation boils down to one word. The key to
innovation is immigration. Our nation's greatest historic
strength is that we've always welcomed the best and brightest
from every corner of the globe. And yet every year, Congress
shuts the door to hundreds of thousands of doctors, scientists,
engineers and artists from around the world who want to work
here. It's the greatest case of national self-sabotage and
attempted suicide I can imagine. If our country's future is going
to be as great as our past, we have to start realizing that
immigrants have always been - and always will be - one of our
greatest economic and cultural assets."
hmmm thoughts?
