Well, my aunties and uncles filled jobs that might have gone undone as they were getting acclimated and integrating. They cleaned offices, worked at convienence stores, eventually went to school and became accountants and engineers. The falling birth rate means immigration needs to increase and people need their families for some normalcy. A PHD who can’t come and live with her family in the states will take a post at a tech accelerator in Paris if they offer to sponsor her family as well. Again, talent is the new oil and the US can’t afford to lose that battle if it wants to stay relevant.
