How many of you agree that America needs to attract more talented people and reduce the hurdles?
I don't think America needs to attract more talented people, but I do think it benefits us to attract the most talented -- provided that they really can be proven to be "the most talented" and not just "the cheapest."

How about making it easier for technical immigrants to obtain a green card directly?
The article you just quoted suggests a 'fix' that does the opposite.
It encourages the expansion of a non-immigrant Visa that makes it almost impossible for highly-skilled foreigners to obtain a greencard.
WSJ, like most Murdoch publications, just banks on its readers being too stupid to notice the difference. WSJ has been pushing low-wage offshoring tech visas for years, trying to pass them off as "immigrant job creators." Right-wing interests have always used publications like WSJ and IBD as mouthpieces for right-wing ideology, knowing that their readers all think they're getting in on some kind of 'inside scoop' that normal people don't know about.
Thing is-- we do have immigrant job creators, but WSJ isn't proposing any plans that would make it easier for them.
Yeah and immigrants are twice as likely to start new businesses.....not to mention much more likely to receive da guberment grant money to start one and much more likely to be granted da guberment contracts.
Funny how a now those little privileges that help people succeed don't count in that case huh?
There are other factors of course....after all I don't think like the typical brain damaged liberal.

No such thing as generic "immigrants" .
The educated, legal immigrants do have advantages. They move often move here debt free from their free educational system. My wife has a master's degree equivalent and was free and clear. The legal ones tend to go though a selective filter. So we are getting the cream of the crop. Since they do not come in large numbers, they generally assimilate and become model citizens.
If you look Latin Americans coming across the border , they are slightly better then political refugees which are also colossal failures like Somalis , and Hmong.
I am afraid you will not see and Yucatan Indian, Somali , Hmong billion dollar starts up all working together in East St Louis. If one thinks its all the same then one is self evidently a moron.

Awesome! Can you point me toward those grants and contracts?
Oh please, it's common knowledge. How do you think all those Indians got into convenience stores and Pakistani's into gas stations. They get preferred business loans over Americans.
They were immigrants too. They just didn't sprout up out of the ground in North America.
what!!! and you know this how? because Adam and Eve born in Israel?? How you know these are not descendants from ADAM -moved away and grew up here-- we have mountains high enough for the big flood to survive-
Immigrants make it here because there are consumers- period--- there is abundant money to buy their products- or use their talents. GOD gives the talents to who He pleases- Who can teach a person to be a great surgeon if not born with that talent to be developed- silly questions sometimes

Did they? Proof?
Does it occur to you that they get loans because they have enough working capital in the first place, and that they work very very hard - not just the recipient but their entire family - pay their bills, and are very low risk?
