Immigration isn't mentioned at all; that's shocking.
Assuming talent seeks opportunity to express itself, places looking for success (=talent*opportunity) should to make it easy for talent to move there.
For the US, let students who earn masters/doctorates at American schools stay.
- umeshunni 7y agoAs an immigrant in the US, I'm not surprised. The word immigration/immigrant has been subverted by the popular media in the US to refer mostly to "illegal immigrants escaping violent regimes" or some such fantasy. You'll rarely see a discussion of H1B visas or the length of the legal immigration queues discussed in the popular media. The popular media in the US also violently opposes opportunity or skills-based immigration even though that's what the majority of the world does. The liberal fantasy of immigration is a variation of the white man's burden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Man%27s_Burden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Man%27s_Burden) where it is the US's role to save the oppressed and the downtrodden by welcoming them to the US. Allowing immigration to be determined by talent or education is "racist".
- lazyasciiart 7y agoAs an immigrant in the US, I think your perception of the issue is driven more by your (probably pre-existing) existing attitudes on "liberals" than by the media in the US.
