Excerpt / Summary

America is in danger of losing its competitive position as the pre-eminent country for innovation and prosperity. Entrepreneurship, the primary engine of our prosperity in the last two decades, is endangered by our immigration policy, which makes it very difficult for some of the brightest and most motivated individuals to stay in our country. Unless we take steps to rectify this situation, we risk a “brain drain” that can severely impact the long-term competitiveness of the United States in the global economy.
