We have a shortage of many research scientists in the USA. We've had it for years. But, yeah, let's keep them OUT of the USA. Oh, and let's keep the entrepreneurs out, as well. They can make jobs in their own countries.This is from Governor Romney's website:
Attracting the Best and the Brightest
To ensure that America continues to lead the world in innovation and economic dynamism, a Romney administration would press for an immigration policy designed to maximize America’s economic potential. The United States needs to attract and retain job creators from wherever they come. Foreign-born residents with advanced degrees start companies, create jobs, and drive innovation at an especially high rate. While lawful immigrants comprise about 8 percent of the population, immigrants start 16 percent of our top-performing, high-technology companies, hold the position of CEO or lead engineer in 25 percent of high-tech firms, and produce over 25 percent of all patent applications filed from the United States.
- Raise visa caps for highly skilled workers
- Grant permanent residency to eligible graduates with advanced degrees in math, science, and engineering

While America is the destination for many of the world's best and brightest minds; making it easier for companies to hire these professionals on the cheap while ignoring native born citizens of equal or greater qualifications is an area where I disagree with the governor.
H1Bs are the other dirty little secret of executives.
Saturate the labor market with them..and inevitably cost of labor goes down..as does the bargaining position of highly skilled workers.
Thank's Mitt.
And thanks conservatives.
Fuck the Statue of Liberty while we're at it. It's fucking French anyway.
