...NYT headline--"Biden Seeks to Lure Russia's Top Scientists to the U.S."President Biden wants Congress to expedite the process of granting H1-B visas to Russian scientists and engineers wanting to come to the US. The theory is to create a serious "brain drain" in Russia, aimed at crippling Putin.
I'm not exactly comfortable with "relaxing" visa requirements for highly-educated scientists and engineers coming from a country that is "the enemy" in the middle of this "proxy war".
We've already had issues with Russia and China trying to illegally "export" technology out of the US, and issues with hacking (from afar). That doesn't really encourage me to be putting-out the Welcome Mat and inviting them here--not under the current circumstances.
