We bring in 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year, more than the rest of the world combined when it comes to legal immigration. We also have 900,000 foreign students in our universities. Many of them who earn advanced degrees actually are allowed to stay here.
But that begs the question. In this nation of 315 million, do we need to import more people with MBAs and doctorates? We have 23 million Americans looking for fulltime employment. About 50% of college graduates cannot find jobs in their fields. Shouldn't we be doing something to produce the people we need with advanced degrees? Why do we need to import them?
I am researching that question now. So far you are right as usual.
You are correct about educating our own citizens. However, we first need to stop bringing in tons of people who have no education and no job prospects, and start controlling immigration so that immigrants are more desirable members of our society.
Also, if we are not producing enough engineers, there is nothing wrong with bringing in new citizen engineers who will pass this professional approach down for generations.
Sadly, no one is talking about any of this. It’s all glop about some wonderful lady who makes great tortillas every morning, and isn’t it great if she and her family can stay here. Our nation is sunk with a stupid approach like that.
