America's immigration policy, while beneficial to itself, usually places a huge cost on the places these people come from. Attracting the most intelligent, and driven people from other countries means those left behind must work harder and with fewer resources. Usually these countries have to expend additional resources just to retain what skilled individuals they do have.

While this is happening, we're going to these places and building factories. Because everything is always on a downward slope, labor is cheap and available. We don't have to pay them minimum wage because they're not American. Sometimes nationals do come back to their countries, to run these factories and make it big back home with American money.
