There is no shortage of top level "brains" in the U.S. and certainly no shortage of talent. What there is a shortage of is properly educated masses, skilled trades people and manufacturing.
The problem is that much of what we bring in is illegal and a drain on our society.
I read just last night that in NJ the "immigrant" population, which is really necked down further into just a certain smaller group is 27.9% IIRC. The percentage is just behind NY and CA. Granted NJ has a lot of farm work down south, but really? And a lot of this is illegal.
I certainly dont think that many of these are going to turn into physicists or rocket scientists, sorry.
Before we targeted immigration of people with high credentials. Now we offer quota grants and free or nearly free schooling (plus low cost federal loans) to people who ma not actualy even be here legally - essentially invaders to our country mooching our resources.
