We may be exporting our IT jobs but we are getting their scientist in trade...

There are good and bad parts to that.
At the Big 12 school that I did my graduate work in...a physics professor was
FINALLY exposed as having taken ONLY foreign graduate students whose home-country
governments would pay for their graduate education.
American citizens were thusly excluded from the laboratory of this
professor whose salary was paid by the US Federal government and the state
(and government thereof) that paid for the university.

I'm not bashing the GREAT and industrious graduate students our universities
get (and sometimes exploit) from other countries...just giving an
example of how a poohbah (professor) might respond to some perverse incentives!

Sad to say...I often found I had more in common with my fellow graduate students from
foreign countries...
