This is an awkwardly worded title, which nonetheless should have had the word "stateside" in it somewhere. >>The report also signaled the need for measures beyond the scope of the U.S. military, such as changing immigration policy to allow Chinese graduate students to stay in the United States after completing their studies, instead of returning home. [...] "The single biggest thing we can do is staple a green card to their diploma so that they stay here and build the technologies here – not go back to their countries and compete against us," Ganesan said. I personally applaud a policy like this. But thinking strictly from the protectionist & security motivations driving the Pentagon report, Menlo Futures Ganeson's proposed remedy makes no sense: If green cards are handed out to foreign students upon completion of their (presumably advanced) degrees, this would allow said students to then perform both actions in their lifetimes (i.e. build technologies in the US, and go back and compete later in life).
