inSPIRE STEM USA Coalition Calls on White House to Include I-Squared in Broad Immigration Reform
Washington, D.C. – The inSPIRE STEM USA coalition praised President Obama’s discussions on immigration with business and labor leaders on Tuesday and urged the White House and Congress to ensure that high-skilled reform is included in any broad reform effort.
“With today’s anticipated meetings at the White House with leaders from business, labor and progressive organizations, we are hopeful the White House will hear the message that America shouldn’t miss this important opportunity to strengthen our economy and our STEM workforce as a part of broad immigration reform,” said Beneva Schulte, inSPIRE STEM USA Executive Director.
Last week inSPIRE STEM USA announced its support for the Immigration Innovation Act of 2013. The legislation would raise the cap on H-1B visas to help close the STEM jobs gap while investing in the STEM education pipeline.
