Unattributed Quote Of The Day ... by gimleteye


"Many people don't understand that we are the sink at the end of the rest of the world's brain drain. Other countries send us their best and their brightest and most want to stay. Over 50% of PhDs in math and engineering awarded in the US in recent years have gone to foreign nationals. 80% of these students want to remain in the US post-graduation. In 2016 all five of the American recipients of Nobel Prizes were born elsewhere. At Harvard, close to 40 percent of faculty were born outside the US. In a knowledge based economy, why would we turn our backs on this rich mother lode of human capital? It makes absolutely no sense."

NOTE: MAGA is a fraud, exploited by opportunists and toasted by the Kremlin.

The idea that immigration is bad for the economy and culture is simplistic and is only used by demagogues as a political trick. In the early 1990's it was estimated every immigrant with an average age of 18 years old gave to the US economy on the average $1,000,000 of investment already spent on the individual for rearing, health, vaccinations, education and skills to the work force. Simpletons need to look at migrants like buying new equipment for the investment part to sink in, except we do not pay for the new equipment, it is free and turn key. The labor market needs a vibrant supply of healthy, knowledgeable and motivated work force. The populist belief that foreign workers are a danger to our security and economy is statistically and scientifically refutable. If new skilled workers are bad, why are we making children and then spend so much time and money to raise them too?????
