|content=No. We need to stop having our big hearts used against our own economic interests. True refugees once rescued make FANTASTIC citizens. A tiny number of Geniuses give us an edge & families often need to be together.

|content=Since we're drowning in oceans of STEM talent in a market economy where long term [[Labor Shortages|labor shortages]] are impossible, we easily see who those cowards are. They're STEM employers insisting on a French kiss from our government & threatening to take the ball abroad if they don't get it.

Ā 
Either: Ā 
Ā 
A) Stop whining and pay US STEM costs for some of the best and most irreverent mavericks in the world.
Ā 
B) Shut down the programs that canā€™t compete.
Ā 
C) Prepare to have PRC work its way into every corner of US R&D by supplying our workforce.

Ā 
D) China sends workers valued by Unis as they not as free or expensive as our own people.
