Over the years in the USA, there has been discussions about automatically issuing green cards (permanent residency in the USA) to foreign students who have earn an advance degree science, technology, engineering or math from accredited schools . The purpose is to keep highly educated people in the United States.
What would have been the impact in the USA if in the late nineties, such a bill had passed Congress and was signed by President Bill Clinton? My memory of that time period was the the internet companies had a lot of clout and wanted a way to increase the supply of skilled people. Lets assume that the green card holder can bring over their spouse and children once the green card is issued.
