Of all the pro-immigration arguments, this one seems to be the least compelling to me. Firstly, for every brain surgeon that comes here, we have many times that many people who come here and become a burden. Secondly, it doesn't follow logic that disallowing these people would "deprive" us of anything. Last I heard, unemployment, and it's more sinister cousin under-employment are rampant among recent college graduates. Seems like if there is a need for educated economic contributors....we should have plenty of our own.
