Hi Old. It’s not like the good old days. In the old days, we had foreigners like Albert Einstein, John von Nuemann and Werner von Braun propel the Manhattan Project and then U.S. dominance in space. Now, it seems all the bright people are Asian.
We had people like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan, titans of business, in the past; and, Elon Musk, Sergey Brin and Peter Theil today.
In the old days, our top foreign-born entertainers were people like Bob Hope, Greta Garbo, Sophia Loren and Peter Lorre. Now, we have Melania Trump, Giselle Bundcheon, Gigi Hadid and Shania Twain.
It’s a good question why so many smart, beautiful, talented and entrepreneurial people come here. And, yes, it has always been tough to compete with them.
No doubt we have to secure the border. We should decide who comes here, and the reason should be because they will contribute positively to our society and make thins better for us as well as for them. What’s not like the good old days is that today most foreigners come here for entitlements, not for opportunity.
“ Now, it seems all the bright people are Asian.”
You don’t really believe that? My God what happened to Free Republic?
