I believe that the majority, probably super-majority, of Americans do not crave the opportunity offered here. We as a nation have become spoiled and are squandering the opportunities provided by our capitalistic system. I think a major part of what has allowed our country to continue to propser is the importation of talented individuals who crave the opportunities offered in our country.

If this article is correct, and I do believe that to a level it is, this is bad for our country. One of the smartest guys I ever worked with moved back to India a year ago. Now, we can have the gut reaction that has been posted on this board, such as don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out, but you have to consider who is leaving.

I would be overjoyed if it is the immigrants who came to take advantage of our entitlement system that are leaving, but I do not think it is good if we begin exporting talent.

Remember, Mexico has taken an active role in exporting their lower class to our country - these immigrants have become a drain on our resources. This is only exacerbated if we begin exporting skilled and/or educated workers.
