And there are Members from both parties who want to repeal the laws medical device tax. falling as it does on the gross receipts of medical device innovators here in America. causing some of my constituents. for example. from Dallas to move their operations to Costa Rica and places where this tax wont be collected. Those are the sorts of incentives and disincentives that tax policy can haveand in this case. very damaging. Both parties want an immigration system that puts more emphasis on skills and on education. We are a very compassionate country when it comes to immigration. We naturalize almost 1 million people a year in this country. It is part of what makes our country great. But we ought to recognize that we need to use both our heads and our hearts on a lot of these issues. It makes sense to me and I think to a lot of other people to say: What do these immigrants bring to America that will make us better. and not just operate strictly on the basis of compassion. as in. what do they need? This seems to be a system that helps us to continue to attract the best and the brightest people from around the world through a legal immigration system. Finally. Members of both parties believe we need a permanent solution to our transportation needs in this country.
