Well spoken...However with the hyperinflation of education costs, the non-dischargable nature of education debt in the USA, the easy availability of H1B drones, uncontrolled immigration, supremacy of corporate power and civil rights laws, I don't see much a future for the USA as it has been. There is something insidious about the term 'human capital'; it epistemoligically reduces people to the level of property. That's Websterian for 'slavery'.
Watch big business pressure their security thugs (once known as the US government) to slap hefty duties on those border-crossers engaging in such 'subterfuge' despite NAFTA. Combine this with mandatory (RFID equipped) passport use and data mining. We will see Americans being refused entry into Canada because of their border-shopping activities. File a VAT refund and *they* will come for you.

There is a plainly understood reason for why this is so. Assembly language while being archecture dependent offers too much ***power*** to the programmer. Think "Atheros HAL" and FCC regs. Someone knowing assmebler could (already has been done) hack the code to let the wifi cards do things that are federal no-no's. This is where public policy quietly and with little notice piggybacks onto market forces. To the tyrant, everyone is a criminal and everything is a weapon. Therefore: A well-regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free State the right of the people to keep and bear arms (assembly language skills INCLUDED) shall not be infringed.
Learning and using assembly language is a political act. Enjoy it.
Normally I have to agree with this premise that correlation not implying causation. However, what we are dealing with is that nasty junction of scientific research and public policy. Dour is the tone in which political reality speaks: Driving is a privilege. These four words are the foundation for much public policy mischief. Since driving is a privilege, the government is given greater liberty to conclude that the playing of vehicle-based video games will reflect the intent of the operator. What was that Latin clause? Ubi non lex, ibi non judex: Where no law is, there is no judge. Where no Naz^H^H^Hpolice are, there are no speed limits. This study will invariable affect public policy.
Let us now couple this with already available technology. Joe Motorist goes to the video arcade or loads his game box with his favorite 'vehicular mischief' (statespeak) game. Unbeknownst to him a gentlemen's agreement had been arranged by the game manufacturer and the government that will have installed RFID readers in arcade games OR home based gaming boxes that for whatever reason "requires" an internet connection. It is assumed that whatever RFID info from a driver's license that remains in the immediate vicinity, while the game is in progress, being read a number of times, will be assumed to be the player. This info is relayed to the appropriate motor vehicle bureau. This info would be directed to a special field in Joe's record that is neither violations nor accidents, but is readable by the insurance sector. The rest is easy to figure out. The government and insurance sector will get away with it by reason of those four dour words: Driving is a privilege.

One issue about which I have yet to see spoken here is the issue of financial obligations. Do all of those from India graduate debt-free? The vast majority of USA grads have what could be called a mortgage-sized load of student loan debt. Only a fool would not realize that this is one of the reasons that USA grads demand the salaries that corporations are no longer willing to pay. Couple this with the USA bankruptcy reform in 2005 that made education debt no longer dischargable. More and more native born Americans are having to make do with trades (dirty work) such as HVAC, electrical, diesel machanics, construction and the like. Europeans doing the dirty work while...you know, role reversal.
What are we going to find in this exposed mantle? We should already know. Mantle material has been recovered in meteorite form http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_Vesta/. Olivine, pyroxenes and other heavier metal silicate rocks albeit with differing isotope mixes.
The problem here is that too many people are chasing lifestyles that disafford them the ability to successfully resist tyranny. Single family homes, SUV's, home theatres, vacations, etc. So many things to lose if these misbehave. These sheep will say "Toys make America different from the rest of the world." Dour is the tone in which political reality speaks: Toys are political opiates and DEBT GIVES EMPLOYERS (and government) LEVERAGE OVER EMPLOYEES. Moveover, the sheep are *carefully taught* that those who have less to lose than they are dangerous (You don't own a home? You don't fly on planes!) Political liberty MUST BE PRESERVED AS WELL AS economic liberty. One without the other is a mockery of both.
Until this is patched by Congress (groan), perhaps, among other things to hack, it may be of use to apply our skills to the courtroom. Voir dire is the process by which jurors are screened and empaneled for trial. I would structure the questions (for the defense counsel) along these lines: Do you have (especially retirement) investments? Do you realize that a significant part of your investments may lie in the sector of the economy that creates intellectual property? Empaneling these people would create a cloud of 'conflict of interests.' This is going to mean that the usual crowd that is empaneled (middle-aged college-educated white males) can't serve or the verdict will be overturned on appeal. A person's stand on issues is controlled by his/her portfolio. James Madison (of USA Constitutional fame) called this political reality and everyone smiles. Karl Marx says pretty much the same thing and these same people are compelled (if not by their wallets then by the Black Crown Victorias) to discredit the same.
My thoughts exactly. I can imagine it noooow. Curry powder is used to calibrate. Unit flashes '91CCNXXXXXX / Bollywood RULEZ / Welcome2 Edison, New Jersey / I [heart] Ravi Kumar' during calibration all the while playing George Harrison's 'Within You Without You'.
This may sound dour, but dour is the tone in which law speaks. In the USA, tax-exempt { 26 [ USC | CFR ] 501(c)(3) } entities are disallowed political speech (i.e. advocating candidates for public office or voicing positions on public policy issues). Why? It is the inverse of 'no taxation without representation.' USA citizens (and to a lesser extent resident aliens) are presumed to be respresented in government therefore establising the presumption of taxation. If an entity is explicitly exempt from taxation, it is presumed exempt from activities related to such representation (political speech). When such entities do exercise political speech, the IRS can either revoke their tax-exempt status or (more likely) choose to penalize them by charging an excise. What is an excise? USA citizenship and residency are franchises upon which the govenrment may lay and collect excises. The Sixteenth Amendment was merely a patch to overturn a previous USA Supreme Court decision overturning statutes passed by Congress authorizing a direct income tax without regard to the states.
What it all boils down to is this: Nationality is rented. The laws dealing with how much to charge is complex for a reason (politics). Unlike many nations whose citizens are only taxed when they reisde within national boundaries, USA citizens are taxed by the IRS wherever they may reside unless exempted explicitly by acts of Congress.
If money is one's reason for living, then passport shopping is merely a natural consequence thereof. There's a lot that comes with that little book.
Here's a golden opportunity for the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) people to earn their pay. Secondly, public policy has permitted certain sectors of the US economy to hyperinflate, namely housing, EDUCATION and medicine. If education is allowed to hyperinflate at current rates, one will see fewer and fewer native-borns going into those occupations that are being filled by H1B visaholders.
