It is because this has nothing to do with US security. It is a continuation of the propaganda started in the 1980s-1990s of cheap labor in the sciences.
Actually, training and allowing these people to work (in potentially very advanced technologies) is ANTI-security.
But it is monetarily beneficial for the shareholders of companies who will benefit from the research conducted by "cheap but smart Asians". Fundamentally, this article should be considered treasonous because it is anything but pro-American.
We have a massive issue in this country of certain elites feeling entirely negated from any responsibility towards their fellow citizens.
I don’t see the problem with attracting smart people from around the world and turning them into smart Americans. That appears to be how we built this country.
Strawman rebuttal. No one has a problem with actually smart people becoming Americans. And I never made any mention of the historical complexity of America.
> That appears to be how we built this country.
You do realize that the Native Americans would consider this a very racist remark. There did exist advanced civilizations in the Americas before "immigrants" came to try to rule it all.
Also, the slaves that helped build this country were not brought here because they were well-educated abroad and driven.
And the poor Chinese that helped build this country were not well-educated abroad and driven to build railroads elsewhere in the world.
This country was built by driven people, many of whom were very intelligent, but this simplistic view you are proposing is not only not true it is actually degrading to all those in the history of this country that contributed a lot without being considered "smart" by the elite.
Perhaps, we should avoid overly simplistic conclusions and viewpoints?
