Stuff You Missed Over the Long Weekend: Immigration As An Economic Competitiveness Resource

Just two real quick video hits that came out over the long weekend, both discuss how immigration should be viewed as an component of economic components. The first is an interview with Steve Case, AOL Founder on CNN's State of The Union with Candy Crowely.

Over the course of the interview  Case talks about the importance of immigrants as an active part of growing our economy.

The second video is a roundtable discussion with George Will, Michelle Rhee, Mel Martinez, Jose Antonio Vargas on This Week with Christiane Amanpour. The round table is notable for the fact that everyone on the panel is in agreement that immigration is a long term economic competitiveness resource.

Even George Will who in the video is initially quite skeptical of the low skilled immigration into the country, admits that it makes no sense to allow people to come to the United States and get degrees from our greatest colleges then throw them out.
