do not need to become US Citizens...

They have many options for their citizenship... usually in places that don't require you physically live there.

What is the advantage to becoming a US Citizen for these highly productive people?

OTOH, there are governments who might want to fund some people to buy a US Citizenship for any number of reasons related to their employment once IN the USA. A lot of jobs that are currently "NOFORN" as in no foreign ( even green card ) citizens may apply or hold these jobs. So if you wanted to work at a company that is creating MLS software for the DOD or CIA or NSA... but you are a Russian or Chinese citizen...

Just a thought.
