I'd say, rather, that as a country we (should) want the world's greatest minds to become American, not just reside here. I don't just mean in terms of legal citizenship, but rather in terms of mindset and culture. I don't think it's good for us to import smart people whose ideals are opposed to our own.
- doingmyting 10y agoI tend to disagree with this line of thinking. You want minds that think outside the norm and not just blindly follow ideals. You want minds that, for e.g Sergey Brin of Google, who aren't only thinking America First but are instead thinking of how to move humanity as a whole forward. You want those minds residing here in the United States.
