Webber describes the dangerous phenomena revrse brain drain on US Economy.Americans are familiar with words "brain drain," they knew clearly what that meant: Bright, talented scientists, engineers and other techies from all over the world were migrating to the United States.But today Americans are starting to hear a new term: "reverse brain drain.".
In this article he trys to explain the main reasons for this situation. First of all,recent government
policies are sending talented U.S.-based
researchers overseas and clamping down on the arrival of new researchers to this country.
