“The Executive Order will discourage many of the best and brightest international students, scholars, engineers and scientists from studying and working, attending academic and scientific conferences, or seeking to build new businesses in the United States. Implementation of this policy will compromise the United States’ ability to attract international scientific talent and maintain scientific and economic leadership.”
— An excerpt from a letter to the Trump administration, signed by 151 groups from the science, engineering, and academic worlds, calling on President Trump to rescind his controversial immigration order. The groups, which included ASAE, said they would be willing to work with the administration "in crafting an immigration and visa policy" that would maintain strong borders while preventing negative impacts on science, innovation, or education. (Since the letter was sent, the implementation of the order was temporarily blocked by a federal court, with a stay of the block denied by an appellate court.) See Quote
