With American Graduate Schools for Science and Engineering so totally dependant on foreign students...
Washington had best be careful about who it excludes from entering the US for graduate studies.....
If foreign grad students decide that American Universities are no longer available to them....they may go elsewhere.
And, there are a lot of new tech choices available to foreigners now.
The US is slowly losing it's technological advantage as knowledge quickly difuses around the globle through the Internet.....and foreign investment.
A major side effect of 911 could be turning the US into a second class power in technology because of students going elsewhere to study.....
Not a "brain drain" but rather a "brain distain" for American policy toward grad students....
