| > we are importing foreigners to paper over the fact that we have ruined our own education system. Are you familiar with any of these scientists we "imported" during the 1930s? Was that also a sign of a failed education system? - Albert Einstein
- Enrico Fermi
- Leo Szilard
- Hans Bethe
- Edward Teller
- John von Neumann
- Eugene Wigner
- Felix Bloch |

| ▲ | bilbo0s 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, that's the thing, we've always imported scientists. So I'm unsure why HN User terminalshort is trying to connect this tendency to bad education? From literally the very beginning of the US we have engaged in this practice. I think Priestley himself came here somewhere around 1793? |
