  1. "Now" also matters. The guy is talking about the top talent, and you don't get that on a conveyor belt. He's talking about motivated people and you just proved his point by saying that the US should educate people on this or that, because if not - they can't compete. If someone has to tell people what to study, it means they either can't or don't want to think for themselves - a.k.a. no motivation. That's a huge problem, and growing motivation in people is insanely hard in a society that only selectively accepts advice just because "my freedom/my choice". It's complicated, and I'm glad that you acknowledge the need for people right now, and I agree that the education system has to be fixed, but the inescapable issue is that assuming all the fixing goes right, it will still take years to address the education problem, and it's uncertain how much of the motivation problem can be solved. If money is the only motivator, you get the wrong people on the job because they will also give no sh|ts about the mission if someone decides to "nudge" them with more money just to hurt the competition. By the way, "my (great-)grandparents were here first" is not an excuse to dismiss immigrants. Today's US Americans are the result of mass immigration from all over the world. Filtering immigration down to exceptional people should not make you feel threatened at all. They can become the next Americans who will gladly dedicate their lives and intellect for the country welcoming them. Show motivation and participate in fixing the education problem, don't just expect the government or some rich people to tell you what to study. If you can't, others will.
