After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Congress unanimously passed the Soviet Scientists Immigration Act of 1992, which eased the path for highly skilled scientists and engineers from some former Soviet bloc countries to come to the United States. The message was clear: The world’s best and brightest want to live in open societies, not under dictatorship. The Cold War taught us that exploiting brain drain is a smart and righteous strategy. But now, some in the GOP have forgotten that lesson. T... Read more

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., voiced support for raising the minimum age to buy firearms on Sunday following a spate of mass shootings committed by adults younger than 21.
