Sounds reasonable mostly, but I don't like the guest worker program because it doesn't ask for an investment in America. And our policy doesn't allow an infinite amount of workers given an infinite amount of jobs. That's my proposal: if there's an open job, we fill it with an immigrant willing to become a citizen. That also goes for students. For example, Harvard should allow open competition between Americans and foreigners for some, if not all, of their positions. The catch should be that graduates would have some obligation to America (not exactly sure what's right here). Again, the idea being that we want their ideas in our tax base and their companies on our soil. By discouraging them we discourage innovation and job creation. And, once scorned, top students may find equivlent of better schools overseas. If that happens it will have been a failure of leadership on the part the government. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:206858 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
