Our Immigration Policy is "National Suicide"

At a recent summit on jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) called the nation’s immigration policy “national suicide,” according to the New York Daily News.

“The mayor has made a multibillion-dollar investment to ready the city for STEM jobs… But many of these would-be tech entrepreneurs are immigrants who came to the United States on student visas, and if they’re not allowed to stay and build their businesses here, this massive investment in education could fall short of its best potential.”

Said Bloomberg, “They are our future, and we are driving them out… I don’t think there is anything more important Washington could do for us.”
