5. stupid short sighted policy

Many of the people coming here to visit or to work (not counting from the poor countries whose people are driven from their countries due to our policies of interference) are usually highly educated and skilled. For example, we are denying entrance to the Indians (yes from India)_ who are mostly very technologically knowledgeable, we are merely cutting our own throats. Countries in Europe are eagerly inviting these people giving them jobs and even temporary housing.
Our middle schools are appalling and most high school graduates are unable to read or write correctly and in order to get into good universities, must take remedial courses to learn to read and write! What does that say about us?
