Chinese-Born Engineer Sentenced for Espionage

Why are these people still breathing air? James

I agree fully, but I believe a better question is why are we so anxious to allow foreign-born engineers (especially those from countries known to commit such atrocities) access to information of this sort. Aren't there enough properly trained US-born engineers to fill these positions? Or is it just that corporate management will do anything to "save a buck" even if it means selling out the farm.

Personally, I feel the company management should bear some of the "jail time" for allowing such a person to be in position to commit such a crime.

Well there are a good amount of properly trained foreign engineers that our government and universities are supplying. I have had the acquaintance of many students from Vietnam and China that were here simply because the U recruited them and paid their way. Once here in the US they could learn the proper training and work for far less than the regular Americans. They could also stay citizens of their home country. They would need to return to their home for one month per year. This would also exclude them from US taxes. After some years they return home taking what they learned home, and begin to undercut and undermine the companies they once worked for in the US.

If it was the other way around, a bullet in the back of the head would have been just the remedy.

Of course the spy's organs would have been pre-harvested, for sale to the highest bidder, and the invoice for the bullet cost sent to the spy's family.

Kind Regards....
