Darrell Issa said "The truth is persistent. According to DHS, where they study student tracking, this is their source, not mine, I will read verbatim once again for the gentlelady from California: There are more than 12,000 African students studying in STEM fields in the United States. Of course, some currently could be undergraduate. Almost 1,500 Nigerian students alone are getting a graduate-level education in STEM fields. Yes, this bill will encourage those able to go on and get graduate degrees in STEM fields to do so because, yes, that's going to give them an opportunity. But don't we want the best and the brightest? Isn't that the goal? Isn't job creation the goal? With that, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Griffin)." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
