Yesterday we passed the STEM Jobs Act, that ends the diversity green card program and reallocates 55,000 visas to foreign graduates of U.S. universities with doctoral and master's degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics....
It's important that when the world's best scientists and engineers come to the U.S. to study, we welcome them rather than send them away to work against us. Many of these graduates will be behind the innovations and new businesses that are necessary for our economic growth. You can read more about the bill here:

The lessons taken from this month's election may vary, but the one thing we all agree on is that getting our economy moving again must be our top priority. We have an opportunity to come together to bring high-skilled immigrants into our workforce and boost economic growth, and to reunite families.

Wishing everyone a happy and blessed Thanksgiving today. This year, I am especially grateful for all the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who are defending our freedoms around the world today instead of enjoying this celebration with their loved ones. We owe them our gratitude and support for answering their nation’s call to duty and defending the liberty we enjoy every day as Americans. May God bless all of our nation’s veterans and their families.
