MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
The AAS has joined with 150 other scientific and engineering societies,
national associations, and universities to send a letter to President Donald J.
Trump objecting to his January 27th executive order on visas and immigration.
See the press release at
https://aas.org/media/press-releases/aas-urges-president-rescind-order-visas-immigration
And the letter concludes, “We stand ready to assist you in crafting an immigration
and visa policy that advances US prosperity and ensures strong borders while
staying true to foundational American principles as a nation of immigrants.”
