Phyllis Schlafly is exactly right. We are creating strong incentives for Americans with the aptitude to become engineers to become something else instead, both through H1B visas and through our refusal to protect domestic manufacturing from foreign competition. (That, incidentally, was another reason to provide loans to GM and Chrysler: the American car companies do most of their engineering and research and development here; the Japanese do most of that work in Japan).
“We are creating strong incentives for Americans with the aptitude to become engineers to become something else instead,”
Law School application’s are on the rise again. This is just what we need...the usual American solution, the non-productive live off of the productive. I’ve never seen a lawyer invent anything but trouble.
