官网请愿原文如下:
In the highly competitive market of the 21st century, America is slowly
finding itself incapable of filling the demand for highly skilled
individuals in the fields of technology and math. If we wish to continue our
current standard of living, we must continue to be the center of
technological innovation and to do so, we must allow international students
gaining degrees in math and science to stay in America to be employed by
American corporations. As Steven Chu, Secretary of Energy, put it, “They
come to the United States to get an education because the research in the
United States is still the best in the world. But if they go back, then we
lose a great deal.” Therefore, we must reform immigration laws to allow
those individuals who wish to remain in this country to do so.

有人组织请愿。

目前民主党和共和党总统候选人对此法案都是拥护的,共和党当红候选人罗姆尼甚至说
过,如果他当总统他将给获得美国硕士以上学位的理工科学生的毕业文凭上直接订上绿
卡。共和党议员葛拉斯理的无理阻挠被外界普遍认为是由于两党之间的其他旧怨情节,
