...addition, over the last 15 years, one quarter of U.S. venture-backed public companies—which generate about $130 billion in annual revenue in addition to employing thousands of Americans—were founded by foreign nationals. The impact of foreign workers is particularly pronounced in high-tech industries; two-thirds of electrical engineering and one-half of computer science doctoral students in the U.S. were foreign-born in 2005. When restrictive quotas are put in place, these jobs go elsewhere. This year, Microsoft opened a new research and development center in Vancouver due in part to favorable Canadian...

They lived by hunting and gathering. These seminomads were, even by the lowest standards of Africa or the Americas, almost incredibly low tech. They had fire, sticks and stones, and little else. Yet their traditional oral culture is of great antiquity; their structure of myth is remarkably coherent and continuous across millenniums, not just centuries; and as anyone can see who visits some of the sacred cave sites scattered across northwestern Australia, their...
