Unfortunately, the immigration debate, in fact, the word
immigration itself, has been, and is, associated with pejorative
terms such as: illegal immigration and amnesty. I see the
word immigration quite differently, not a dirty word at all. I
myself associate it with being an important and necessary part of
any solution in these terrible economic times. Something we
should embrace, not push away. I think of words like innovation,
entrepreneurship, hard work and skilled workers, investors, bright
people, scientists, engineers and researchers. I think needed
people in STEM professions and occupations (science, technology,
mathematics, engineering). I wonder why we put limits on the
workforce U.S. business can hire, only to see highly talented
individuals unavailable to such companies, who would otherwise have
positions for them. I then find those same companies opting to go
abroad and seek overseas talent that they could otherwise have
hired here. Questions like why we force brilliant minds home after
allowing them to obtain a first class education, more often a post
graduate education, in this country? I ask what is wrong with
us?
