Global competition exists. If US companies can't hire the best, others will. I hope you don't assume that all the best workers/researchers are born within US bo

  I don't think countries should hire the best. Pretty good should do. They should foster a greater sense of community within their borders. Now, I'm not against immigration. I myself am an immigrant. But I think there's too much global fluidity and not enough attention paid to taking care of one's own.

    >not enough attention paid to taking care of one's own. Because that's not profitable.

  The best people are in no small part a product of their environment. You can have the best people but with no resources they won't be productive.

  Do you think the average H1B or other visa holder in STEM is among “the best”? I’m forced to hire non-American engineers (contractors) because my company is too cheap to pay for and commit to paying American workers full time for a couple of years. There are certainly a ton of qualified Americans who can work for us (fully remote) for not much more money, and their native English skills would make them objectively better at the position. I would even hire juniors straight out of school, but the corporate bs gets in the way.
