Brain Gain
Rethinking U.S. Immigration Policy (Brookings FOCUS Book)
Darrell M. West
Explore how the United States has benefited from the "brain gain" of talented immigrants who have revolutionized energy, technology, commerce, and culture. Despite this, Americans resist an open-door policy towards immigrants. Darrell M. West argues that perception is one reason for the difficulty in reforming immigration policy. To put America on a better course and enhance its long-term prosperity, West prescribes a series of reforms that include reconceptualizing immigration as a way to enhance innovation and competitiveness. Discover how immigration can help find the next Albert Einstein or Sergey Brin.

Darrell West understands that more than any stimulus or bailout, the most important step we can take to strengthen America's long-term economic health is passing comprehensive immigration reform. For America to compete in the 21st century, we need to be able to attract—and keep—the world's best, brightest, and hardest working. Everyone knows our immigration system is broken, but West provides the kind of facts and analysis we need to move the issue forward in Washington. – fuente
