Jack Markell on Foreign Policy

Delaware Democratic Governor

 


Provide asylum for Syrian refugees seeking safety

Democratic Gov. Jack Markell is standing by his support for President Obama's decision to provide asylum for Syrian refugees in the United States, despite Republican calls not to accept refugees in Delaware. The head of the Delaware Republican Party, along with state Sen. Colin Bonini, urged Markell not to accept Syrian refugees in the wake of the attacks in Paris. Markell responded that former Republican President Ronald Reagan was committed to welcoming those seeking safety from fear & persecution.

World now is more global; more productive; more competitive

This is the world we now live in. Around the country, companies are producing more than ever, but as a result of productivity gains, they sometimes do so with fewer people.

This is the world we now live in. There are 3 billion people in the world today looking for jobs, but only 1.2 billion jobs available.

This too is the world we now live in. More global. More productive. More competitive. It is a new world of unprecedented opportunities--to create new partnerships, to sell to new customers, to innovate and collaborate in ways previously unimaginable.

But it is also a world with new and formidable challenges--to attract and retain employers that have more options than ever; to educate our children to higher standards of job readiness; to invest in the future as we care for an aging population.
