"Diminishing Allure: The Shift in Elite Immigrant Preferences Away from the US"

According to a recent report by the Reason Foundation, a US-based libertarian think tank, the United States is slowly losing its advantage in attracting elite immigrants to other countries. The report highlights that the US does not offer favorable conditions for recruiting and employing students after they graduate. In contrast, countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and Canada have adopted efficient procedures to make it easier for graduates to obtain employment and residency. Due to its reputation as the home to the most prestigious scientific centers and the world's strongest economy, the United States had consistently been the top choice for educational immigration. However, it appears that the United States is experiencing the phenomenon of brain drain in light of new circumstances.
