The real issue though is how adopting ID will undermine the scientific and technological progress of America.
It won't because there are whole boat loads of immigrants eager to make their mark. They'll do this by educating themselves in joints like MIT and Caltech and working for U.S. companies.
Meanwhile, companies and foundations that hand out grant money will largely ignore or scuff at the communities that adopt ID, fearful that if they so much as sent them a single microscope, the community would treat it like the apes treated bones in the beginning of 2001 film.
Or going back to their respective countries. I know a professor who had not had a US born PhD candidate in over two years now.
