"In conclusion, let me say that I believe the United States benefits enormously from high skilled immigration, especially in the technology sectors. We can, and should, encourage the best and brightest to come to the United States and settle here permanently. But our future critically depends on our homegrown talent , and while we should welcome foreign workers, we must do it without undermining American workers and students. Closing the H-1B and L-1 visa loopholes would ensure that the technology sector remains an attractive labor market for Americans and continues to act as a magnet for the world’s best and brightest. These are not mutually exclusive options. We can find the right sets of solutions that provide the proper balance."     Click here for full written testimony.
