Foreign-born residents with advanced degrees start companies,
create jobs, and drive innovation at an especially high rate.
While lawful immigrants comprise about 8 percent of the population,
immigrants start 16 percent of our top-performing, high-technology companies,
hold the position of CEO or lead engineer in 25 percent of high-tech firms,
and produce over 25 percent of all patent applications filed from the United States.
So, if the US were to put more effort into innovation-related degrees...

To ensure that America continues to lead the world in innovation and economic dynamism
Continues???

Yeah, I know, it's bad politics to openly criticise your own country, but come on. Maybe something like "restore our position as a world leader"
