A nation that welcomes and rewards talent will attract and develop more talent, and therefore be wealthier and stronger in all respects. Helping everyone else there. The US has benefitted from the influx of talented people seeking freedom and opportunity since the 1600s. It is what made this the greatest nation on earth. And will for the next century too. Offer the greatest justice and rewards to talent and you will reap great riches - that is the lesson of the US in a nutshell. Some of us know it and are proud of it, is all.
