If India had all these bright students that these elitists are claiming they would have been the first on the moon and their country wouldn’t be a third world sh*****e.

It was American engineers with their slide rules and white shirts that got us there and created the marvels that enrich this country today.

All these billionaires who champion Indians and Chinese have never had to work with them.

No, but the billionaires have saved over a trillion dollars employing them.

That’s what matters most to them.

Not without Wernher Von Braun and maybe some of the other former Nazi rocket scientists.

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.
