It has been a staple of policy from Jamestown until today. ‘“We need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world,” Obama said before a joint session of Congress [State of the Union, 2011]. “We have to make America the best place on earth to do business.” If there was a central theme to the president’s remarks, it was innovation. He called for more investment in education, research, science and clean energy.’ Forbes19Unfortunately, the ambition level of immigrants, always a driver of growth and innovation in theUnited States, has been severely constrained by policy in recent decades where the untrained andillegal immigrants are favored over the educated and legal immigrants
