The operating principle for the US government pretty much has to be this way. It's a "bug" in the concept of the nation-state. The natural state of the US - with "a moat the size of two oceans" - was isolationist for almost all its history, prior to WWII. Perhaps that's again a rising idea. And some of the writing on this subject is simply propaganda-ish. This being said, if I were, say, from India, it would bug me that I have to emigrate to innovate. Why should this be? Well, the US built more universities, which have lead times in decades. Okay, so send kids to school there, then make it to where they can practice back at home.
