- bryanlarsen 1y agoThe US definitely had lots of skilled immigration before 1990. For example, almost the entire Avro Arrow development team moved from Canada to NASA in the 1960's.
- oa335 1y ago> The U.S. has almost no skilled immigration until 1990, Where did you get this statistic?
- chairmansteve 1y agoThe immigrants before 1990 had all kinds of skills, including people like Einstein, Von Neumann, Fermi, the data wasn't collected, probably because immigration was open. They didn't need special visas.
