US is losing out all the best people to Canada, Europe and even the middle east. The country needs to retain them.

Stanisic

This helps people who followed the law to come into this country.

Ron

We dont need to technically superior to other nations, or for that matter be a technology leader let them get the education and experience here in this country and let them make their country prosperous !!

heather

Makes sense. We spend our hard earned Tax dollars to educate these people, and after they use OUR money to get THEIR education, they go off to canada or europe? Nope. THIS BILL MUST PASS.

Sunny

Heather....u r right when u say that the bill must pass...but absolutely wrong when u say that taxpayer dollars are used for education....for ur kind information most of the international students study on their own expense and get this...they are not qualified for any kind of federal supported loans...on top of that all the international students are subjected to non-resident tuttion..

Charlie

Absolutely NO. As long as one citizen remains unemployed, or underemployed, there should be no allowance for this type of immigration.

marie

my vote to Pass this bill

James

I have to agree with Charlie. The unemployment problem is bad and we should not allow immigration to fill jobs that American citizens can use.

Megan

We must keep in mind the children of undocumented immigrants, who, by no fault of their own, were brought to America by their parents. I have a friend, in this situation, that has been recently accepted into medical school despite her undocumented status. Given the opportunity to work in America, she can start her own practice and hire people to work for her, creating jobs. Well trained, highly educated people are our entrepreneurs and embody the American dream. I would argue that well trained, highly educated "aliens," if anything, will stimulate the economy.
