Immigration: A wider better welcome mat
|
21.5.2013 |
LA Times: Commentary |
The U.S. should do more to welcome and keep talented foreign students.
As an immigrant and an engineer, I know the magnetic pull that the United States exerts on anyone who dreams of a career in science. From the time I watched NASA technicians on television during the first lunar landing in 1969, I resolved to get the best scientific education that my talents and circumstances would allow. |

I am an undocumented immigrant at Stanford University

| Without immigration reform I will be left jobless and exposed after I graduate. This isn't just a political issue to me
The United States Senate is currently debating a proposal for immigration reform , an issue that affects me personally. Now that I have the chance, it's time for me to speak up and add my story to the mix of perspectives.
I am an undocumented student at Stanford University. I was born in Mexico, but moved to the United States at the age of three after a Mexican construction firm sponsored an E2 investor visa for my father. I began elementary school at age four; by kindergarten, I had started calling Texas home, and by first grade I was fluent in English. My family adjusted well to life in southern Texas, where waves of immigration had made the region predominantly Hispanic, very much like Mexico, and the ideal place to, of all things, build lots of houses. My father's job and the promise of opportunity were secure for the time.
But in 2001, as I was entering second grade, ... |

Hatch warns of tech industry clout in immigration debate
|
15.5.2013 |
Salt Lake Tribune |
| by Matt Canham The Salt Lake Tribune
Published May 14, 2013 02:36PM MDT
Washington • Sen. Orrin Hatch warned that tech companies may oppose immigration reform if the Senate Judiciary Committee doesn’t change the bill to make it easier to import highly-trained workers from overseas. The comment came after Sen. Richard Durbin, R-Ill., suggested that Hatch’s amendments would allow companies to pass over American workers in favor of immigrants, who may work for less. Durbin, one of eight senators who crafted the immigration bill, said he found Hatch’s suggested changes ... ... |

| Desperate to sound tough, politicians are in fact making it harder to improve the plight of domestic slaves in Britain
Can governments ever be tough enough on immigration? Ask any canvasser and they report grim news from the doorstep: whatever the issue – housing, jobs, benefits – in these hard times the blame has been successfully diverted on to migrants for taking jobs and homes. Tighten the screw, pull up the drawbridge, cut off the attractions that draw them to the UK, but no political action is ever enough to sate the demand for tougher border defences.
The government frequently takes noisy public action, even when it knows some things are far worse than useless. Economically, it's madness to cut off valuable students from China and India for the sake of hitting a meaningless "net" migration statistic. Morally, some "action" means deliberately turning a blind eye to some abuse that would shock many of the same people who want immigration cut, if they knew.
Britain is importing ... |
