We know we are in deep yogurt when even spy agencies recommend that we keep
more international students here:

The U.S. still educates a large portion of the world’s best students in
computer and computational science, many of whom are foreign national
citizens. We recommend consideration of programs that incentivize these
students to stay in the U.S. after graduation so that they contribute to
the development of U.S. HPC capabilities rather than returning to their own
countries; these programs would take the form of Visa or Green Card
programs that target Ph.D. graduates in HPC.

(and it's not just about HPC, but I don't want to derail the conversation
too much).
