He also says the government should make it easier for foreign students to get green cards so they can live permanently in the United States.
He notes that countries like Canada and Australia let international students with Ph.Ds in science, technology or engineering become permanent residents. But the United States requires students who want to remain in the country to find a local employer who will give them a temporary visa.
“That does have the effect, we’re convinced, of pushing too many of these innovative people back outside the borders of the United States.”
Professor Maskus and his team want the U.S. to offer more temporary visas, or even just a quick and easy process for permanent residence.
Of course, others might argue that permitting foreign students to stay in the U.S. will take jobs away from American workers.
But the researchers say the economic and creative gains of diversity outweigh any harmful effects for native-born Americans.
Their report appeared in the journal Science.

Many cultures celebrate the passage from childhood to adulthood. In some Latin American countries, young women mark this passage at age 15. Many Latin American families in the United States not only continue the tradition, but go to great lengths to celebrate quinceañera.
Recently, party planners organized a show all about quinceañera in Los Angeles, California. Thirteen-year-old Adilen Torres and her mother attended the exhibit to research prices and gather ideas. Adilen Torres says the celebration will be a time to express her identity.
