I agree with him. We'll let millions of illegals walk across our border, take advantage of our services, not pay any takes, and work illegally for menial wages. But we won't allow college educated professionals to LEGALLY enter our country. WTF?

So, instead of allowing these professionals to enter America, where they would benefit our country, American companies establish offices in other countries and employ them there. So it's American money being invested in a foreign country that doesn't have to be. Sheer stupidity.

This is one area where immigration would not hurt our workers. Our shortage of scientists and engineers will only get worse with time, because the supply coming from American colleges is a mere trickle. There's far more retiring than there are those to take their place. Science and technology is no longer emphasized in school and it's a more challenging degree, not a huge shock that kids are majoring in other things. One thing we all need to remember though, it wasn't business majors that made America the world leader in technology in the 20th century. Today that's a title that's slipping, if not already gone.
