ARE OTHER COUNTRIES TAKING FOREIGN TALENT FROM THE U.S.?

If we don’t welcome immigrants, other countries will.  Alberta, Canada is running a campaign to welcoming US H-1B visa holders.  This while the US is limiting available immigration options for foreign professionals.  Take a look at albertacanada.com.

Congress’ unwillingness or inability to pass any sort of immigration reform will continue to put other countries at a competitive advantage.

VOTE FOR IMMIGRATION SOLUTIONS, NOT RHETORIC

Today is super-Tuesday and twenty-four states will be holding primaries today. It is possible that the Republican and even the Democratic (though less likely) parties will have their Presidential candidates.

For those who support Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR), the best primary vote would be for John McCain. This is because both Democratic candidates strongly support CIR. McCain also supports CIR.

Therefore, for those among us who are voting in support of CIR, a vote for McCain would be the best bet because Mitt Romney says he opposes CIR. Although I am not sure whether Romney would change his mind were he to be the Republican nominee to garner the Hispanic vote.

Tomorrow we will have a better idea of where everything stands and whether the future President would support or oppose CIR. This is a big deal for all immigrants, whether in this country legally or undocumented.
