#3 Why the need to spy when it's their ex-pat scientists and engineers developing many of our high tech goods and weapons?

#4 I don't doubt there are plants among the emigres. But the ones I personally know in the high tech world would spit on Putin if he got near them and twice so on the whole communist aparachnik set.

#5 And I have met Chinese engineers who I am certain were feeding info back to their homeland. I suspect more than a few Iranians are doing the same. On the plus side, I no longer am involved in defense work, but had defense contractor customers who employed many sci/engrs born in China, Russia, Iran, not even mentioning India (oops, I guess I did). Seems self defeating to me.

#6 When did they ever stop?
They will always spy on us and try to steal our stuff because we are the best in the world.

#7 We're easy to spy on because we are hiring lots of foreign nationals into engineering and other highly technical jobs because it is hard to find comparably-qualified Americans for those jobs because American young people avoid classes with math and stuff because they're hard and they don't want to work. Obviously I am generalizing, but unfortunately there is a lot of truth to it.

#8 I went to school with a kid who took an extra year to graduate because he was too busy harvesting engineering papers from the university library to feed back to his father's company back in Beijing. I don't know whether you can call this sort of open-air data-harvesting "spying", or just business as usual...

#9 Robbing the Farm, the factory, the school the University the Soul of America....

Does anyone know the exact rational as to why our *State Dept and the Voracious University System gives carte blanche to the Foreign States of the World who then steal our R & D and other critical research?

Let's see, they generously allow China and Russia to use our international student policy to "recruit agents", then let the agents use our facilities to move our Proprietary Intel, Industry R & D, Military and Industry Research etc. back to China and Russia.

NICE WORK STATE!
