> A few unrelated thoughts: I've seen some of the brightest people get shipped back to their home country after their "practical training" (the year allowed for work after a foreigner's college graduation). Much of America sees "import more low skilled workers" as a bad idea. This is relevant because the tech industry and most other folks interested in importing more brains has joined forces with the folks who want to import low skilled workers. Since most of america is willing to import brains, the wisdom of this pairing from the "import brains" side is unclear.
