STATEMENT OF PARTNERSHIP FOR A NEW AMERICAN ECONOMY CO-CHAIRS MAYOR BLOOMBERG, RUPERT MURDOCH, AND J.W. ‘BILL’ MARRIOTT, JR. ON BIPARTISAN COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM LEGISLATION

Following the announcement of the bipartisan Senate Gang of Eight’s comprehensive immigration reform legislation, Partnership for a New American Economy Co-Chairs Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Rupert Murdoch, and J.W. “Bill” Marriott, Jr. issued the following statements:

“Mayors and business leaders understand how vitally important it is to bring our broken immigration laws into the 21st Century,” said Partnership for a New American Economy Co-Chair and New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. “I applaud the bipartisan Gang of Eight for tackling this issue, and we will do everything we can to help them win bipartisan majorities in both houses. One of the best things we can do for our economy is to pass sensible immigration reform that drives innovation and creates jobs – and the sooner Congress acts, the brighter our future will be.”

“It is high time that Congress act to reform immigration and visa laws that are diminishing our country’s competitive position in the global economy and wasting precious resources for no good reason,” said Rupert Murdoch, Co-Chair of the Partnership for a New American Economy and Chairman and CEO of News Corp.

STATEMENT OF CHIEF POLICY ADVISOR TO NEW YORK CITY MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG AND PARTNERSHIP FOR A NEW AMERICAN ECONOMY CHAIRMAN JOHN FEINBLATT ON USCIS REACHING H-1B VISA CAP

“The fact that our supply of H-1B visas was exhausted so quickly is not only emblematic of our broken immigration system – it represents yet another missed opportunity to attract the world’s best and brightest to our shores. If we want to stay competitive and thrive in the global marketplace, we need to make sure that our immigration laws fit the needs of our economy. Sitting still risks the world passing us by,” said John Feinblatt, Chief Policy Advisor to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Chairman of the Partnership for a New American Economy.

SENATOR RAND PAUL’S IMMIGRATION SPEECH

“Senator Paul's speech today helps move the immigration debate forward in a positive way, and it shows that broad bipartisan agreement is attainable on reforms that will secure our borders, create a path to citizenship for those here illegally, and allow us to attract the talent we need to grow our economy and create more American jobs.”

COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS URGE MORE THAN 1,200 FELLOW EDUCATION LEADERS TO JOIN THE PUSH FOR SMART IMMIGRATION REFORM TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE WORLD’S LEADING MINDS

In an open letter to more than 1,200 university and college presidents across the country, the presidents of Cornell University, Arizona State University, and Miami Dade College are urging their fellow leaders in higher education to join them in pushing for smart immigration policies that will help attract and retain the world’s best and brightest.

Working with the Partnership for a New American Economy and the National Immigration Forum, David J. Skorton (Cornell), Michael M. Crow (Arizona State), and Eduardo J. Padrón (Miami Dade) announced that on April 19 they will host major events on their respective campuses to highlight the role of immigration in driving innovation and creating American jobs. They are encouraging others school presidents to follow suit. “By speaking with one coordinated voice,” they write, “we can best bring our message to the public and to our representatives in Washington, DC.”

In their letter, these three presidents stressed that America often trains the most talented foreign-born students in our top educational institutions, only to send them overseas to compete against us in the global marketplace because our immigration system does not provide an opportunity for them to stay. They also noted that many children who were brought here at a young age are prevented from attending college because of their undocumented status. These presidents have long been advocates for sensible immigration reform that helps bolster America’s economy.

PARTNERSHIP FOR A NEW AMERICAN ECONOMY JOINS WITH TECH AND INNOVATION LEADERS TO LAUNCH THE LARGEST-EVER VIRTUAL MARCH ON WASHINGTON IN SUPPORT OF SENSIBLE IMMIGRATION REFORM

The Partnership for a New American Economy today joined with tech and innovation leaders to launch the largest-ever virtual march on Washington, calling on lawmakers to pass smart immigration reform that includes measures to help power the U.S. economy. The March for Innovation (www.MarchForInnovation.com) will bring together luminaries from the tech world with hundreds of thousands of Americans by using Twitter, Facebook, and other online tools to promote immigration legislation that will boost innovation and entrepreneurship.

Supporters of the March include Partnership Co-Chair and New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, AOL Co-Founder Steve Case, Brad Feld of the Foundry Group, venture capitalist Mike Maples, angel investor Ron Conway, Joe Green of Nationbuilder (Co-Chair of the March), and Somesh Dash of Institutional Venture Partners (Co-Chair of the March). Joe Trippi, the former campaign manager of Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign, developed the social media content behind the march.

As Republicans and Democrats in Congress are working on broad bills to fix the many broken elements of our antiquated immigration system, the March will help ensure that any overhaul includes:

•A visa for entrepreneurs who want to come to America to start businesses and create jobs. Countries like Canada, Australia, Chile, Singapore, and the United Kingdom provide visas and roll out the red carpet for entrepreneurs – we currently turn them away.

Following today’s passage of the STEM Jobs Act of 2012 (H.R. 6429), the bill introduced by Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) that provides 55,000 green cards for foreign-born graduates of U.S. universities with advanced degrees in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), and reunites families by providing visas to spouses and children of current green card holders, the Partnership for a New American Economy released the below statement from Co-Chair Michael R.
