Any college grad can attest: the worldwide Brain Drain floods American universities each year.
Conversations with these foriegn students reveals that many have NO INTENTION of returning home after they've tasted American freedoms.
How 'ya gonnna get 'em to come back home to a gray backwards culture, after they've seen keg parties, giant libraries, poolside barbecues, American girls gone wild?
I think what they love about the USA is that you can make a living without the government taking most of it away. Why spend all the money on education and then get so little back in return. My French friend tells me that no one wants to work in France. Why bother?
One of my tenants here in Brooklyn was from Argentina...a very comfortable middle class girl who came here to get her Masters degree in Fine Art from Pratt University...she was here for 9/11...I stopped to talk to her in the street that September...things in NYC seemed bad...we were still flinching every time we heard an ambulance or a helicopter...I asked her if she was afraid for her safety in NYC and would go back home...she said that she felt far safer in NYC than she did in the streets of Buenos Aires...she said there was major crime and kidnappings going on there...I was surprised because so many foreigners seem to come here to exploit our country but still look down on us...anyway she wound up marrying an American boy and is currently teaching in a private school in Manhattan's upper East Side (Dalton)...she's now part of the American Dream.
