PSG voices support for international student immigration

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (Exponent) - Purdue Student Government supported a resolution to expand green cards to international students studying at American universities.

President Pro-Tempore Zachary Briggs, who authored the bill, said the bill was needed to retain the talent that international students bring to American universities.

Since he said there is not a lot competition in those fields, we need these students to be part of a new generation of innovators.
