Via LiveScience.com:
Immigration is a boon to American science and math, a new report asserts, noting that 70 percent of the finalists in a recent prestigious science competition are the children of immigrants.
The report by the National Foundation for American Policy, a nonprofit research group in Arlington, Va., states that many immigrant parents emphasize hard science and math education for their children, viewing those fields as paths to success.
As opposed to conservatives, whose members think science is commie pinko fascist Marxist socialist French gay voodoo. Besides, if too many immigrants (read: Democrats) get a real education and learn stuff, they become an even bigger threat to the GOP. Los yikes!
Nonprofit research group National Foundation for American Policy director Stuart Anderson:
“The results should serve as a warning against new restrictions on legal immigration, both family and employment-based immigration, since such restrictions are likely to prevent many of the next generation of outstanding scientists and researcher from emerging in America.”
