The US has got to get serious about developing a generation of competent adults who have a work ethic and who want to take personal responsibility.

It's easier to find these competent adults in other countries. That's part of what is driving this whole issue.

If you ask an incompetent adult to become competent, you don’t win the popularity contest.

I won't disagree with that. But I think the point is that politicians ought to at least try to formulate a national policy of developing competent adults in this country.

Our politicians seem to say "let's import foreigners; screw the American citizens".

That's a pretty amazing approach for our elected officials to take.
