Hubris in their own abilities and Talents to overcome Secular Market forces.
American Politicians are No Different.A lot of foolish politicians still(&claim) America is the Land of the free.
Compare and contrast the responses of Two very different people-One a Politician and other a Hugely Sucessful Entrepreneur and you will know what I am driving at here
"What one wonders is whether America still remains an Attractive market for them or would they prefer to setup Business in Asia or Africa today?"
That is a good point. Many visa seekers would rather prefer to work in the US for a company and get a salary rather than setting up a business there. The US government should be aware of that. Or are they thinking that people are eager to come and stay in the USA no matter what it will cost them?
"developed world has been the beneficiary of brain-drain"
That is also the main reason behind the "entrepreneur visa". Don't you think? The main trend will continue, but now the US government wants to encourage foreigners to invest and create jobs in the country.

I think US will continue to create, and attract to world considering the fact that is a pinnacle of technological innovations. The close/best market alliance to US - Europe. How would Europe transit from its present state of financial debacle back to good worthy of ruminating on.
This whole House of Cards called Europe is going to crumble and the Impact on America(Europe remains America's Biggest Trading Partner) is also going to be HUGE;I don't know if its any consolation or not but Asia(particularly Singapore, China,Taiwan,Thailand and Japan ) will get HIT even worse.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee.
