Slow Economy and Immigration Reforms

US is inviting people from radical countries like Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and giving citizenships as compensation for the ongoing wars and struggle. In this country 2-3 million people are getting citizenship every year just by marrying US citizens, I am sure a big ponzy scheme is working here too. On the other hand, for all the countries H1 cap of skilled labor is fixed to 65000. H1 has been causing the exploitation of legal immigrants by both employers and government.

Worst is in stimulus plan, government has compelled companies recieving TARP money, for not hiring H1 visa people. Probably a beginning of US socialism, but even if all the kids are forced to study science and mathematics today regardless of their natural inclination,it will take 10-20 years for a generation of Engineers or Doctors to prepare.

Current problem is a wave in US economy creates tsunami in other economies, so this recession has reduced the opportunities worldwide for the skilled labor. Also, this is the high time for US to offer innovation and technology as its main business not the scams and frauds to make fool of people all around the world, so US needs educated people.
