<p>If your surprised, don’t believe it, then go to MIT click and on a random professor, is he american? no Indian, choose another, american? nope chinese. These are the best of the best right? US just needs great scientists for defense and space programs, and majority are international because all the best ones come here from all over the world but none of us go over there. I also know for a fact that Boeing even has several Iranians there, simply because they are brilliant. US has always done this at all levels of industry from meat packing industry to cutting-end research, we just like to be in denial and think idealistically that being ‘American’ is a pre-req to working in government and defense research. just my opinion; i’m not an expert. If you have any firm data to deny this then present it.</p>
