That sentiment - we don't need to keep every foreign grad - is basically stack ranking applied by the government instead of big business.

Put another way, the government is basically forcing companies to adopt stack ranking for certain classes of employees.

I'm not sure that the comparison to stack ranking is apt, I am not saying we only want x% of grads, but I think it is reasonable to say that the US wants to bring in people in high demand as evidenced by their salary.
