These are not new rules. If people looking to migrate to US and find situation increasingly worse due to lack employment / governmental support for raising family, they can decide to not come. But the fact is situation is increasingly getting worse across the world. And places where there are great benefits are not looking to have horde of immigrants.

Also those "highly educated people" if they are really worth they think they are then individual negotiations with employers are always an option. Default set of benefits help average folks who otherwise would not get a better deal from employers.
