Rejecting Skilled Workers ‘National Suicide,’ Bloomberg Says

The U.S. needs to allow more visas to help the economy and should let highly skilled engineers who study in U.S. universities stay in the country, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said today in Washington.

Turning away skilled workers is “national suicide,” Bloomberg said in remarks before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The U.S. will be unable to compete if it doesn’t attract talent globally, he said.
