In the letter, they cite the worrisome U.S. “shortage of highly skilled professionals in math and science,” pointing out “that foreign talent has a role to play in our ability to keep companies located in our state and country.” The letter calls for swift legislation to address the visa shortages.”
The site has an interesting “immigration issues blog” that I recommend.
