Washington Post: One of the more self-defeating aspects of this nation's immigration policy is its insistence on denying work visas to thousands of the world's most sought-after doctors, scientists, engineers and technical specialists, including those finishing their degrees at American universities.

To educate the next generation high-tech entrepreneurs in America, only to export them to foreign universities and corporations, is foolish.
