I don't get it. We have Indian and Chinese engineering students flooding our engineering schools, and sure as heck not to get those low-paying jobs in their home countries, but the high-paying jobs here, and we have folks whining that "I ain't gonna send my son or daughter to E-school." So much for rewarding the best and brightest, we need to protect ourselves from them, they're not American enough. What a joke.

that is changing. many of them are going home now (especially the Chinese). the only reason they came here is because the educational infrastructure doesn't exist in their countries. that is changing, they are building up in that area, and won't need US higher education after a while. the more engineers and scientists who work offshore, the larger the pool they have for some of those wokers to then take teaching positions - training their next generation in their own country.

give it time, the Chinese and the Indians know what they are doing. ask yourself this, if these tech industries are really "buggywhip", why is China and India so desperate to capture them? are they stupid?
