On Immigration: Increasing high tech visas could hurt blacks seeking jobs

Fudge conveyed the Congressional Black Caucus' concern with allowing higher numbers of highly skilled immigrants into the U.S. "We know that [historically black colleges and universities] graduate more people in science, technology, engineering and math. But if you say you're going to have as many as 100,000 high-skilled visas come into this country every year, then that is saying to my children, 'You know what? Don't even go into that field, because there's not going to be a place for you.' " Source: National Public Radio on Biden Cabinet May 23, 2013
