Mark Zuckerberg and Immigration

    In an interesting development, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, has announced the plans for creating a new political action group with specific policy goals. In his initial statement, he released the name of this new group as well as an initial policy plan- one that we can be interested in.

    His new group is called FWD.us (or, "Forward U.S.") and represents an ambitious effort to jump into the political scene. His goal is to link investors and entrepreneur-types with politicians-especially in Silicon Valley.

    He stated: "We have a strange immigration policy for a nation of immigrants, and it's a policy unfit for today's world." Perhaps to be taken as a good sign, the group is partnering with members from both political parties showing that a bi-partisan effort is desired. This further shows that momentum is being gained in immigration reform's platform.
