US Immigration Laws may be causing "post-doctoral mismatch"

There is a piece on this in a recent Science article: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/316/5829/1268.pdf

We should take note of this issue here in Ireland.

Becker and Posner recommend that the US try to assimilate one million high-skilled graduates every year in to the US. The US is a bit of a sleeping giant on this front. The great sucking sound that is heard in a few years time could be the sound of very high human capital being sucked to the US. They surely wont continue some of the dafter things they are doing at the moment.
