Had Erdal Arikan been able to stay in the US, he would have created opportunities for thousands of other engineers, scientists and other American workers as well.

America has the remarkable advantage of being a magnet for talent from all around the world.

And yet somehow it chooses to squander that advantage.

It is… not good policy.
