"Our legislators seem committed to betting on foreign workers rather than developing a talent pipeline of native-born Americans. The goal of course is not to undermine American workers, though this is precisely what they accomplish; Republicans and Democrats alike seem to have decided that immigration is how we avoid competition. After all, if we can entice the best and brightest minds of other nations, we won't have to compete with their accomplishments down the road.

With each brain drain initiative, Democrats seem intent on creating another class of "dreamers." For example, their proposed policies would allow foreign-born adult children upon turning 21 to inherit residency status of their parents who are temporary visa workers. This would add 200,000 people to the competition for American college admissions, scholarships, jobs, and business funding. It would place pressures on supply and demand for essential goods and services, including housing and PreK-16 education infrastructure..

To attract foreign talent away from their country of origin, Democrats want to allow an unlimited number of foreign PhD holders to compete with American PhD graduates seeking academic careers, post-doctoral fellowships, organizational leadership in research and development, and positions in think tanks about American policy. But pushing ambitious Americans out of R&D and academia is the perfect trojan horse to legitimize global victim consciousness and mute the native understanding about our complex history.

The immigration industrial complex built up around legal and illegal migration has abandoned what is patriotic and pro-American. "
