“It is time that we have a real solution for having high-skilled immigrants help with our national security. That is why I, as a cosponsor of the EAGLE Act, am going to introduce it and attach it to the National Defense Authorization Act. The reality is we need immigrants to help build some of the critical technology that is going to keep us ahead of China and keep our military strong and our industrial base strong. The EAGLE Act benefits all American workers by lifting the arbitrary per country green card cap to bring down the decades-long backlog. It also will help end H-1B visa abuse by foreign outsourcing corporations, as these visas undercut wages. It is time to pass the EAGLE Act, attach it to national defense, and make it a national security issue. ____________________”
