I am all for hard working intelligent immigrants who come here with the goal of becoming citizens but that is not the issue of H1B visa grantees they are not given immigrant status. they are guest workers brought in strictly to interfere with the free market in American wages.
Free markets are only good for maximizing ytour profits when they maxximize someone elses you object. That is a class act you got there.
Like her, hard-working, motivated, intelligent, etc. The ones that stay in China (according to her) seem to be the flip side of the coin.
Long-term, if we drain the brains from overseas then they won't present as grave a threat, right?
I'm thinking that even if they're eventually shipped back to their homeland, then they might not be as anti-American as they might have been had they not lived here.
The flip side, is, of course they will understand us and our weaknesses somewhat better having lived here...
On the third hand, as an American-born scientist, I'm concerned about retaining our native capability to do research...
So, overall, I don't know...
