Speech #1060002557

I am sometimes troubled that my friends on the Republican side of the aisle suggest that spending on domestic priorities is creating wasteful. new programs. In one particular area I take exception. that is in the area of education and training. It was only last year that we had the major corporations in Silicon Valley and across the country lobbying Congress to change the immigration laws in America so that these companies could bring in skilled and trained personnel. immigrants from overseas. to fill gaps in their employment. That is a sad commentary on Americas educational system. And it really troubles me that we have reached the point these companies cannot find within America the skills that they need to make a profit.
