This really bothers me. It's like the U.S. is a football team, and we train one of these immigrants; we make them hit the gym, show them the ropes, teach them the intracacies of the game, let them know some good techniques, then say, "Now get out of here, we don't want you to play for our team."

At the other hand, the law makers can say that this is how we intend to make all countries around the world to be as good as United States by giving their brains back. We are spreading Lord's wisdom and grace to everyone on earth by being altruistic.
But in many cases, it's throwing them back to a relative wilderness, where much of their training is of little use. The density of excellence, the concentration of experts in a physical area, can make a significant difference to getting something new off the ground.
Yeah, I can see how you're spinning it to be a positive thing, but when you hear how these guys are getting frustrated, I don't think this is quite what they want to hear.
Now you get my joke. You see how ridiculous the feeling is!

Unfortunately immigration is the thing that politicians either don't know anything about it or don't care about anything about it.

Because until immigrants naturalize themselves as citizens, immigrants have no voting right and politicians have no use of immigrants (Of course politicians may still want immigrants to donate hard earned money to their campaign fund under corporate names)
