We need to
encourage our rising generation to focus on hard science and
quantitative skills and to provide opportunities for Americans already
in the workforce to develop expertise in these fields. Enhancing our
competitive workforce also means improving the process by which high-
skilled individuals in other countries come to the United States to
fill crucial positions for which there is a shortage of American labor. As we endeavor to reform our high-skilled immigration system, we need
to ensure that this system is not manipulated to undercut domestic
wages or displace American workers. We need to reward good actors who
use the system as it was intended and close off the ability of bad
actors to profit by sending American jobs overseas. TechNet provides our Nation an invaluable service as it continues to
champion policies that promote the innovation economy.
