We are constantly lectured about how important it is for the USA to bring in highly skilled immigrants from other countries.
But if we are constantly ‘raiding’ the world for doctors, scientists, tech engineers etc. from other countries how does it help those countries?
We send billions of dollars in foreign aid to these countries in an effort to help them develop better economies, healthcare, education systems, etc.
But at the same time are luring away the very people they need to improve their own countries and raise the national standard of living.
Leave the “Best and Brightest’ in their own countries and it would do more good than all the foreign aid we can send them.
If we can’t educate enough Americans to meet our needs for skilled labor and professionals it is time to fix America’s education system from grade school to graduate school.
We should be educating and churning out more of our own American technicians, engineers, doctors and scientists and fewer Mass Tort Lawyers, Social Justice Warriors, Music Therapists and Political Science majors.
We need more STEM studies and less Feminist Theory, Black Studies, Queer Theory, etc.
Then we won’t have to raid the world to fill good jobs here in America.
I totally agree, this is a short watch, but explains exactly what you are saying.
“We need more STEM studies and less Feminist Theory, Black Studies, Queer Theory, etc.”
People with these useless degrees are the farm teams for education and government jobs.
