But companies would want well-educated employees no matter WHERE they came
from, and would most likely contribute on both the local AND national level.
For a simple, real world example, look at Silicon Valley as a whole - finding
qualified individuals in the US is getting extremely hard, so a very large
number of the new hires are from India. The money involved in getting someone
from India hired is immense after you factor in all the visa problems (and
don't say that they're hiring those people at a pittance, it's not happening
with the cost of living out here). I think most companies would much rather
invest that money in schooling to KNOW that they'd have an adequate hiring base
without tons of legal red tape. The problem is convincing them to take that
longterm view. But if some of the LP views were taken and implemented in
government, I have a hope that that would happen.
