Point remains, America benefits tremendously from poaching the best of the best from India and China. For example the no.1 income earning ethnic group in the US? Indian Americans at an average of over $100,000 earned/year per household. I think Asian Americans are second. 

Wait, do you think that's a good thing or not? Earlier you said that India and China should be pissed off because we take their best students.

It's not like we need them, anyways. There's no shortage of high-tech workers:

The only reason the H-B1 program exists is for companies to hire low-wage non-Americans.

I think it's a good thing to have those people rather than not have them and let India and China become tech powerhouses, well I guess they already are, but moreso.
