New York City, NY: The mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, says it would be a good idea to staple green cards to the diplomas of all foreign students who earn a graduate degree in the United States. Bloomberg says New York City is depending on immigrants to uphold its economy, and that it is a shame that individuals who have earned graduate degrees from universities in the U.S. takes their skills to other countries, instead of contributing to the American economy.

The New York mayor talked to the press during the launch of the annual “Citizenship Now,” a hotline that has provided foreigners with immigration advice for the past eight years. The mayor’s statement came only a week after he attended an immigration summit at the White House. Also attending the summit were both the former and the current secretaries of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as well as former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rev. Al Sharpton, among others. At the “Citizenship Now” launch Mayor Bloomberg said that while immigrants only make up 36 percent of New York City’s population, they make up 46 percent of the resident workforce. The mayor also scolded federal lawmakers for taking too long to reform the U.S.immigration system, and he said that the 11 million illegal immigrants that live in the United States must be given the opportunity to become legal residents, even if they won’t be allowed to become U.S. citizens.
