>Maybe the problem is the US isn't as welcoming socially, politically or bureaucratically (visa process) as it once was? That's a PR image problem that the current political climate tarnished through inept and ignorant messaging.
This isn't correct at all. It's true the US isn't very welcoming any more, but this isn't through "inept and ignorant messaging", it's not inept at all: the US voters clearly don't want foreigners here, and they proved it by the way they've voted, and now they have an administration that clearly reflects the wishes of the electorate. Stop trying to sugar-coat the reality of how American voters really feel.
- Konnstann 7y agoThere's an argument that the "American Voters" who voted in the current administration do not represent the same people who care about the "brain drain" and effects of said drain on tech/STEM in the US. The average Trump voter isn't competing with foreigners for PhD positions.
- magduf 7y agoI don't think you need to make an argument for what you wrote, I think that's pretty obvious. But the people who care about the brain drain are being outvoted by the voters who support this administration, and are honestly happy about the brain drain.
