The trends in the article are real. Go to the college of science at any reasonably good university and take a look at the students pursuing graduate degrees in technical fields - you'll find Indians, Chinese - and few Americans.

Once, those foreign students stayed in the U.S. after graduation; now they depart. So we're training the competition.

I think you're mistaken, at least what I see contradicts that. My neighborhood is in NW Nassau County on LI. Thirty minutes to mid-town, surrounded by world class medical complexes (North Shore, LI Jewish, St, Francis Heart) and the PS system is ranked number 4 in the country by USNews & World Report. In the past year six houses have sold within two blocks. Every buyer is Asian or Indian. Every buyer is a Medical or Technology professional. They could all have gone home and prospered but they all chose to stay here.
