For the best and the brightest, yes let them in as we do and that keeps us on top. Don't flood the markets with every Chinese, Indian or Russian that went to school though. The whole system will become mediocre and we'll lose our edge and become just like those countries. I don't know about you but I avoid foreign doctors and dentists. I've meet one or two that were better than average but most seem to come from a doctor production factory. I guess our schools are just better. Demand seems to have lowered the standards and with the flooding of the cheap doctors the good ones can't compete. Same thing with tech, if hundreds of people apply for a job and you're the best candidate but they'll take less will the company ever know that they lost out?
The lower end isn't so great either, day workers are asking for $10 hr while Wal-Mart is only paying $6-7. I think plenty of high school and college kids would do the roofing and the landscaping rather then McDonalds at $7 hr. Dishwashers and porters make sense but most restaurants have illegals as chefs now and only the high-end places use culinary grads. Believe me it's not because of talent, it's strictly to save money. So yes let them in but flooding the market is foolish. Don't forget if we remove our borders we also remove our culture, we lose that and we lose it all anyway.
