There is a direct correlation between the number of immigrants that are here in the United States and the number of new patents that are registered with the US Patent Office.
As the immigrant population leave US soil, the number of new patent registries' goes down.
Why?
If it is so difficult to register a new patent, how is it possible that a foreigner can come here and do it, and a local boy or girl can't?
If a Detroit worker is worried about losing his job or finding a new one, what has he been doing his entire life other than the same old thing his grandfather, his father and him have been doing forever?
Back to science and ingenuity if this country wants to survive and flourish in the 21st Century!
Where are the Thomas Edison's and the Wright Brother's of yesteryear? Have we become too blasé, lazy and mundane in the 21st Century? Or is it that we are just too stupid to make and invent anything any more?
I personally don't believe that the later is true, because we do work very hard in this country, but there is something wrong with us.
I bet that if we allowed 2 Million educated, ambitious, resourceful and clever folks from India or China visas to work and play in the USA, the registry of new patents in the Patent Office in Washington, DC would go right through the roof.
Why?
I believe we have lost our North. Are we blind or too comfortable? What is it about us that no longer makes us curious and inventive? It takes humility, pride and a "can do" attitude. So what has happened to the good ol' USA.
Foreigners come here and they are like children in a candy shop, so much to see and so much to chose from. Have we Americans lost sight of what is right in front of our own eyes?
