aan anonymous letter:

My last job at a national retail chain was filled, after I departed, by an Iranian recent graduate. My former manager claimed he saw few American qualified candidates. Skilled technicians do not often emerge from American schools. Nintendo players do, hiphop singers and dancers do, World Wide Wrestling fans do, drunken college dropouts do, bankrupted college graduates do, since our school systems too often merely advance students instead of educating them. Heck, math is optional now in high schools after the second year. Every German high school exchange student I have known has jumped to the head of his class when entering our less skilled student force. Our high technology sector would never be so strong without skilled Indians and Taiwanese. Their skill and leadership has created thousands of jobs for Americans. Ignorance and hard times usually breed contempt for foreigners. No, our economy desperately needs highly capable foreigners, since our domestic workers are largely unskilled and often have poor discipline.
