A bipartisan group of senators will introduce legislation Tuesday that would seek to make it easier for foreign students who hold post-graduate degrees in math, science or engineering from American colleges to remain in the U.S. after they finish their studies.
The legislation would also create an entrepreneur’s visa to allow people who start new businesses and create jobs to remain in the country

The four lawmakers who are backing the bill – Democratic Sens. Mark Warner and Chris Coons and Republicans Jerry Moran and Marco Rubio – are hoping to convince leadership of both parties to allow the bill to come to the floor, despite the fact that it deals with the politically toxic issue of immigration in an election year.
Quote:
A senior Senate Democratic leadership aide said there had been no discussions about the bill between leaders and any of the four lawmakers.
The aide said that the only immigration measure that was likely to be brought to the Senate floor before the election was a proposal to allow children who came to the U.S. with their parents illegally be allowed to stay permanently if they go to college or enroll in the military. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) has been a strong proponent of this measure, known as the DREAM Act.

Time to declare Accounting eligible under the MATH label. Anyways back to the real goal, DA seems likely in the Senate. The mystery lies in the House!
