Civic leaders in Ohio's largest metro area have started an initiative to attract foreign students, workers and entrepreneurs. Why? Because they help drive the job creation engine that the region is trying to bolster. The Talent Blueprint Project is not the only initiative around the country with a mission of this sort. Chambers of commerce around the country get it. Why doesn't Congress?

Population of Cleveland and the county has been declining for over 40 years. The last time the city was flourishing was... in the beginning of the last century when thousands new immigrants arrived. Someone figured how to put two and two together.

Holy smokes, they are trying to attract immigrants? Maybe these guys have figured out something that the crazy mayor of Hazelton, PA and immigrant bashing folks elsewhere are too dumb to consider?

I think they are sick and tired of high skilled jobs moving abroad...something racists such as Kirkorian ignore.
