We write to strongly endorse the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (S. 744). As leaders of the higher education community, we believe that S. 744 is a very sound and important bill which is critical to our nation’s future. U.S. colleges and universities, which are both educators and employers, would benefit from the improvements to our immigration system included in S. 744. We urge you to vote for the bill.
