Mark good morning. My name is mark krikorian, the executive director of the center for immigration studies, and we are doing this panel on the issue of the Foreign Student Program. The admission of foreign students and scholars is a federal Government Program like any other, farm subsidies or what have you, and it is almost exclusively discussed in positive terms, but in fact like any other Government Program, it has benefits but also costs.

We want to have a panel that will try to introduce balance into this discussion of the Foreign Student Programs. Our first speaker is dan cadman, a center fellow, a veteran of ins and dhs, and he has a report on the table outside and also online on the National Security challenges that Foreign Student Program poses. Our second speaker is another fellow from the center, david north, who has been doing immigration policy lo

As long as we are on this er we are unable to do these very important things for Homeland Security. So we need a fully funded department of Homeland Security especially in these challenging times. So thank you very much for being here. Thank you very much for coming to washington and we look forward to a good discussion. Thank you.

Rational place should be a complete nobrainer. Its a bill called know before you go. And the idea is quite simple.
