Gates Sells Whine At Microsoft
It's a sad statement that one of this nation's greatest innovators has joined in our Plutocratic Overlords' quest for cheap labor.
If the Visa programs were eliminated completely tomorrow, we'd not only start educating more American kids and force colleges to presssure state school systems to improve their results, we'd also stop making people who want to kill us more capable of doing so. When I was in school, there were tons of Iranians on my campus. My bet is that at least some of them are now involved in building nuclearn weapons for Iran. And how come nobody ever points out that Al Quaeda sorts are highly educated, many of whom have had their educations underwritten by the boneheaded leadership of Western nations that now can't seem to figure the proper way to define our war against radical Islam. Who cares if we look less magnanimous to the rest of the world? Does it really make them hate us less if we look helpful?
Uh. No.
It's not as if figuring this stuff out takes a rocket-science-level intellect; in fact, I'm sure that most Congresscritters know exactly the way this crap works. They just won't say it for fear that your knowing would hurt them.

FT.com / World / US & Canada - Gates warns on US immigration curbsThe key fallacy here is that if Gates and his greedy globalist cohort get more labor via visa workers there will be no incentive for our bastions of higher learning to improve the educational lot of the average American. More visa slots means more chances to sell higher-priced tuitions to aliens - and that is where they will focus their efforts. Any "improvement" and new investment in research will disproportionately be skewed to benefit the very aliens who would come here on student visas knowing that there was a work visa waiting at the end of their educational journey. It's a closed loop that shuts American kids out. If there had never been a student visa program to begin with, we'd be growing our own engineers and scientist much more capably than we are today.
Mr Gates said he felt “deep anxiety” about the US’s ability to remain competitive if it did not act quickly to improve education, invest in basic science research, and reform its immigration policies.
