Dear Editor,

Spencer Abraham's crowning achievement during his term in the US Senate is to establish the primacy of economic internationalism and American competitiveness in the global economy as the cornerstones of business immigration policy. Before Senator Abraham, immigration was seen by USDOL and INS as a problem to be curbed and regulated; now, the US business community and the Washington policy elite have been educated by Senator Abraham to view employment-based immigration as a core economic asset whose skillful application is essential to the maintenance of American domination in the world economy. We have moved from concepts of "reform and control" in 1986 to "American Competitiveness in the 21st Century" in 2000. More than any single piece of legislation, this sea change in how we, as a country, look at immigration is what Spencer Abraham will be long remembered for. Our ability to be a creative and young economy always looking for a better tomorrow is his just reward. Thank you Senator.

Gary Endelman
