beSpacific: "Council of Economic Advisors, June 20, 2007: Immigration's Economic Impact: 'In 2006, foreign-born workers accounted for 15% of the U.S. labor force, and over the last decade they have accounted for about half of the growth in the labor force. That immigration has fueled U.S. macroeconomic growth is both uncontroversial and unsurprising - more total workers yield more total output. That immigrant workers benefit from working in the United States is also uncontroversial and unsurprising - few would come here otherwise.'"

Mitt Romney was in Denver yesterday, according to the Denver Post. From the article, "Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, in Colorado to raise money and give a speech on national security, said Thursday that a strong military, strong economy and strong family values are the keys to moving the country forward. 'It's the three-legged stool,' said Romney, who did not hold any public events but spoke to reporters for a few minutes at the Brown Palace Hotel. 'It's time that we as a nation return to the source of America's strength.'"

From today's Denver Post, "A spending bill with language expanding embryonic stem-cell research is on its way to the Senate floor, a day after President Bush vetoed Rep. Diana DeGette's stem-cell bill. The Senate Appropriations Committee, on a 26-3 vote, approved the $152 billion legislation, which funds federal health, labor and education departments. The stem-cell provision in the bill would allow federally funded research on stem-cell lines created before June 15, 2007. President Bush by executive order has limited funding to research on lines created on or before Aug. 9, 2001. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said the new date would give scientists more than 400 new cell lines eligible for federally funded research, compared with the 20 now available."
