In a letter, a coalition of more than 100 companies and trade associations asked Senate Leaders Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to pass the bipartisan Dream Act of 2021.
Members of the Coalition for the American Dream and signatories of the letter represent every major industry in the country, including Facebook, General Motors, Marriott, Target, Visa and Uber. Continued delay or inaction will cause significant negative economic and social impact on businesses and hundreds of thousands of deserving young people across the country, the coalition said in the letter first seen by CNBC.
Democrats on Feb. 18 unveiled a comprehensive immigration reform package backed by Biden that would provide a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants with an expedited process for Dreamers.

US commission warns schools on Chinese theft
Reuters, OAKLAND, California,
and WASHINGTON
A US national security commission is recommending that US universities take steps to prevent sensitive technology from being stolen by the Chinese military, a sign of growing concerns over the security of academic research.
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI), led by former Google chairman Eric Schmidt, was yesterday set to vote on its final report to the US Congress.
A new section on university research was added to a recently published final draft, which also features numerous recommendations in areas including competition in artificial intelligence (AI) and the semiconductor supply chain.
