WHEREAS, the opportunity for citizenship for its many and diverse immigrants has been
one of America's historic strengths; and

whom study in our nation's top colleges and universities, and to benefit our society and the U.S.
economy, comprehensive immigration reforms are needed; and
WHEREAS, among other things, national immigration reform should include: a
reasonable timetable for a path to citizenship for America's undocumented immigrant residents;
an increase in the cap on employment-based non-immigrant H-1 B visas from 65,000.00 to
115,000.00 with a market based escalator so that the cap can adjust based upon the demands
of the economy; the lifting of a cap on the existing U.S. advanced degree exemption, currently
limited to 20,000 per year; dual intent for foreign students at U.S. colleges and universities; the
recapture of green card numbers that were approved by Congress in previous years, but have

degree holders, persons with extraordinary abilities, and outstanding professors and
researchers; and the reform of fees on H-1 B visas and employment-based green cards so that
fees can be used to fund programs that promote STEM education and worker retraining; and

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR AND COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
To: Jimmy Morales, City Manager
From: Matti Herrera Bower, Mayor
Date: April 17, 2013
Re: Resolution Urging the United States Congress to support National
Immigration Reform that leads to a Pathway to Citizenship
Since the renaissance of Miami Beach. in the 1970's, our City has been proud of
the diversity of our visitors and residents. Our sparkling shores have acted as
beacons of hope, drawing individuals and families fleeing from oppressive
regimes abroad in search of a better life in a community that is accepting of their
background. Today, we stand stronger as a community where, according to the
210 United States Census, over 60% of our permanent residents identify
themselves as a race other than white or Caucasian, and 53% of that number
identify as Latino or Hispanic.
The United States has struggled with assimilation of immigrants since the days of
Columbus. Florida's own struggles are 500 years old this year, as we mark the
Quincentennial of Juan Ponce de Leon's discovery of La Florida in 1513. In all
that time, the correct balance of openness and restricted access to America has
never been reached. However, due to the bipartisan efforts of United States
Senators Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.),
and Chris Coons (D-Del.) we have the opportunity for real reform with the
Immigration Innovation Act (12) of 2013.
1 am urging my fellow Commissioners to support this resolution to encourage the
adoption of 1 or any other national immigration reform that leads to a pathway
to citizenship. I would also request that if adopted, this Resolution be sent to the
Miami Dade Congressional Delegation.
Thank you.
