Not only that, the US lost their contribution to the local economy: they won't buy groceries, pay landlords or buy from the local car dealership. There is a huge missed opportunity there.

I just don't get why the US wouldn't want qualified workers to get in the US. Singapore had this lesson learned well.

People completely miss this about immigrant workers (I use the term in a positive way). Tax generation, local spending etc.
