Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL) talks Immigration reform and Middle Class Opportunity in speech at the U.S. Chamber of Congress (Full Video 01-23-13)

Keeping high tech jobs in the United States is a primary reason to pass immigration reform, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said on Wednesday. 
Rubio told a gathering of educators at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., that high-tech companies estimate they cannot fill tens of thousands of jobs in the U.S. in part because of an immigration system that does not provide enough visas for foreigners who earn advanced degrees here and want to remain to work. As a result, those jobs are being filled overseas, Rubio said. 
"In some instances, this is no joke, we are graduating kids with these degrees and these skill sets. We are then forcing them to leave the country and the jobs are following them over there," he said. "This is crazy."
