There was a bill like that where PhDs would be exempted from visa limits and such. But it was discarded because the House considered it would cost the US 1 billion dollars over 10 years.
Don't know who or what kind of analysis they did to pull that 1 billion number. It just shows how inane and stupid the entire US immigration and laws are.

- HWR_14 3y agoIt's stupider than that. For some reasons they couldn't just add a processing fee to offset the cost.
- tho2i34u23o432 3y agoIronically, every PhD in the US costs nearly ~$1M in funding. People who graduate are stuck in a weird love-hate relationship. You can't hate it because of the generous funding; you can't not hate it because of the insane politics behind immigration that tied to all sorts of historical notions of racial supremacy and so on.
