Give more Green Cards to smart people!!<p>Tottally self serving statement, but if I had a green card, I probably would be doing something more inovative than what I am doing at my current job.<p>It is amazing the hoops that some people have to go thru, before being able to fully utilize their capabilities for this country (and themselves).<p>This is the only country where a foreign, after living for few decades, can get citizen ship AND can truly say they are "American"<i>. While a foreigner in an european country, will always remain a foreigner, even they get the citizenship, a second class citizen.<p>This simple but fundemental difference, is the one that will keep attracting young bright people to come to this country.
That is a huge competitive advantage against other really well developed countries.<p></i>Caveat: In the south, you will still remain and feel as a foreigner. But my fully american brother-in-law born in Iowa, said, he felt an foreigner himself when he travels to some part of USA
