"Some foreigners are smarter than you, therefore you don't get to have a country, just an economic zone." - interesting case, let's see how many go along with it.

You get to have a country all right... a country of immigrants, that is.

H1B is not about smarter foreigners it’s about “I can’t find enough locals with the particular skills I need so I need to widen the pool” Though I think Musk likes it because the current program is tied to the company so workers are effectively indentured to the sponsoring company and not free to leave to go work for another.
