It was a few links down but here is what Boomy said:

Bloomy:
The one thing, all kidding aside, that hasn’t changed and won’t: I’m going to keep pressing Washington to act on the issues that matter most when it comes to keeping America competitive, and America safe, and America strong, and few things matter as much as immigration. I have said repeatedly, our current immigration laws are “national suicide” – and I really don’t think that’s an exaggeration. Because I see industry after industry, company after company, school after school improving overseas, and if we don’t do something, we’re going to find ourselves someday on the backside of the curve, and it’s very hard to play catch up in this world. The vast majority of Americans, the good news is, agree that we need hardworking people from around the world to come here. It is crucial for our economic stability, and our ability to create jobs. We all agree that we need stronger borders and better enforcement. But we also agree that turning away foreign-born innovators and entrepreneurs and the best and brightest immigrant students educated here – is about the worst economic policy anybody could possibly have.

No shortage of recent immigrants in NYC or Maryland Bloomy, in fact they are Balkan-ized now, that means little resistance to guys like you and O malley..

...we need hardworking people from around the world to come here...

That part is true. But we need a reason for those hardworking people to come here and work, and that's well paying jobs.
Instead, the pols are trying to invite unskilled people to come here in droves and not work. That's national suicide.
