I’d personally prefer to see them concerned about irrational costs of higher education in US. Perhaps then US wouldn’t need to be concerned about immigration policies as much. Especially from countries where education is very affordable or free. I’d like to hope that similar access to high quality affordable or free education in US may have a positive effect on the number of AI candidates without the need for more open immigration policies.

Btw in terms of immigration, I already would place US as one of the most accessible developed countries in the world.

Conversation below somehow doubting this fact is easily disputed: https://citizenpath.com/countries-with-the-most-immigrants/

US accepts more immigrants than the runners up combined.

This is just based on assumption that these "researchers" are anything different from politicians. I have seen very very few university professors etc honestly talk about degrees their department is offering are just not worth the money especially for people who are taking large education loans.

In his book 'On bullshit jobs' David Gerber talked about lot of bullshit jobs in universities but I think he was too kind on his teaching colleagues at universities

Quite rational. For Chinese to have a kid a chance on settling in the US, their prices are a joke.

For the while the investment immigration to US was working, the price was in many million dollars. $100,000 to move to US in a few years, + a degree for your kid is a much better deal.
