New Immigration Book

FROM WWW.ILW.Com David Heenan’s new book, “Flight Capital: The Alarming Exodus of America’s Best and Brightest” http://www.flight-capital.com/ explores the consequences of immigrants who return to their home country equipped with the education, training, and work experience acquired in the U.S, resulting in a brain drain for the U.S. According to Heenan, approximately 200,000 foreign-born Americans have already returned to their native homelands attracted by the opportunities available back home. The book warns that current immigration policies dissuade foreign talent from settling in the U.S. and warns that immigration reform is critical to the economic survival of the U.S. The book examines in detail how countries around the world have benefitted from the innovations that returning natives have brought to their home countries. All is not lost, according to David Heenan, who provides in his book a dozen strategies for winning the talent war.
