In
the NYTimes Opinion Section, Thomas Friedman says that he thinks any
foreign student who gets a Ph.D in our country should be offered
citizenship, no matter what the subject is. Laughing and Crying - New York Times.
I think he's suggesting its better if we keep them instead of making
them leave and bring their American-made PhD brain to another country.
Or we could give their seat at a University to an existing citizen Ph.D
student who is more likely to stay home. Many of these foreign students
want to go back home, which is understandable, so giving them
citizenship might not even solve the problem of them taking their brain
somewhere else.
Also, can you believe it? While in NY, I found out that Friedman is coming out with a third version of The World Is Flat. He should just title it, "Back for more of your cash" at this point.
