Report: U.S. needs immigration boost of high-skilled workers

The release of the annual 2010 report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas states that without highly skilled foreign workers that the US "risks falling behing in the global race for talent" unless the government enacts immigration reform.

"The disproportionate focus on illegal immigration is missing the picture that the legal system of immigration is broken as well," Federal Reserve senior economist Pia Orrenius told CNN. "The cost of ignoring problems with the legal immigration of high-skilled workers in some respects is higher than the costs of illegal immigration."

Immigrants contribute a lot to the United States by working jobs that many Americans wouldn't want to do. The United States is a country with many different ethnicities and our country started out through immigrants. Its what made our country to become so successful and we must continue to bring in skilled foreign workers.
