> And the fall-behind strategy continues. Immigration restrictions from an administration hell-bent on destroying the single greatest source of American innovation China has far harsher immigration restrictions, and they're not falling behind. The article is generally confusing, criticizing the US' belated adoption of China's approach as a "fall-behind strategy", while praising China for that same (albeit far better executed) strategy. > 81% of electrical engineering grad students are international, 79% in computer science are, and in most engineering and technical fields, the number hovers above a majority. It’s great to believe the fantasy that if only these international grad students would stay home, then “real” Americans would somehow take these slots. But what’s true of the strawberry pickers and food service workers is also true for EE grad students: proverbial “Americans” don’t want these jobs. So the jobs "Americans don't want" have now expanded from manual labor to STEM. I wonder which jobs we'll be told they don't want next. How the US got anything done from 1900 to 1970, when minorities were only 12% of the population, is a mystery.
