Tesla brought us many great things and he was an immigrant. With that I would just add that it is not just immigrants from China and India that we should be courting and treating better. We should be getting immigrants from all over the world not just the larger cheaper labor markets. Tesla was from Serbia (Croatia now). We should not have any precedence or preference to where smart immigrants are from. But remember this, the larger the group of people, the more there are better skilled workers. But also the larger the group of people the more there are mediocre or substandard skilled workers. This doesn't mean that every skilled person we let in will be good. Sure there will be more quality candidates from larger populaces than the US, but there will also be that many less skilled workers to the scale of the originating country compared to the US. I am all for open immigration for skilled people and I think other countries should have the same policies. Largely on the latter point, they are just as xenophobic as the US is on this matter.
