Well, we *do* allow people in from all over, while still generating a

We do allow people in because US system could and would not produce top notch
scientists.

Except for the ones we *do* produce, of course. Like the two US-born
and trained scientists who just won the Nobel for chemistry. Or the guy
who shared the prize for medicine for inventing the MRI.

About *half* of the Nobel prizes in physics for the last half-century
have gone to guys who were born and raised in the "pitiful" US (or born
elsewhere and raised here).

The Europeans had a big advantage a hundred years ago, but they seem to
have ****ed most of it away.
