... But keeping allowing potential good taxpaying americans to become americans won't be a detriment. It'll be a coup! Like they used to say in the 30s, "I love hitler! he keeps shaking the tree, and we keep collecting the apples." (obviously this was a reference to the intellectual capital/labor of Einstein and others, but the same holds true today. This safe haven for intellectual labor should remain so, imho)
Well said. It's crazy that we invite the world's best and the brightest to attend our universities, and then ask most to leave when their student visas expire. I don't know about other states, but at colleges in California the engineering departments are full of students from Asia. Let's do what we can to keep that brain trust here.
