There is nothing to limit companies from moving their operations overseas. The limit on work visas is more a reaction to 9/11 then it is a concession to poorly qualified and overpaid workers in the US. Look at the trading block that the EU has built and you see the future of the US or our economy will be third rate. US students will need to be screened based on intellectual skills, work harder and party less if they expect to compete for jobs globally. The US educational system has placed its greatest resources at the disposal of the mediocre and the special needs student. There is little money for those that are gifted. It is little wonder that a disproportionate number of gifted US students find themselves in the juvenile legal system while we continue to pump out dimwitted “professionals” from most of our state and local colleges and universities. If we then guarantee these dim wits jobs we continue to endorse the educational system that is failing America and we will all suffer in the end. Why not set the bar higher instead of protecting a system which has already failed?
