"These are not people who are going to open up gas stations," said Greg Leonard

Absolutely correct! They will be returning to do research in Chemical and Biological institutes that manufacture weapons to use against the United States. The US should stop educating foreigners in such sensitive fields. Come on over if you want to learn medicine but go somewhere else if your thinking about studying nuclear fission or some other potentially hazardous security threat.

The theft of our proprietary processes, methods of manufacturing, methods of research, and our industrial capabilities is more of a long term security threat than a few bug breeders or nuclear thieves. These students are taught to absorb and retain as much data as possible to send back home (Where mamma-san is on a kidney transplant list). They do this even when it is not related to their field of study. They attend and record lectures and presentations on subjects they have absolutely no relevance to. Take one on a tour of a laboratory sometime. You have to club them over the head to give up their tape recorder and camera.

Agreed. Just recently got my bachelor's in electrical engineering last December, and I remember my thoughts concerning the foreign students in my classes, especially those of Chinese/Middle Eastern extraction. My thoughts were (and still are): "Hmm, just whose ballistic missile and/or WMD program are YOU going to be working in when you graduate?"
