I can’t help but think this best aligns with US immigration system. US take in huge amount of international students, but don’t have a reliable (no, lottery-based work visa with a ~50% SLA is not reliable) and easy way for top graduates to work. Instead, policies that were made tens of years ago in fear of US jobs stolen by foreigners are still effective and the same mindset influence many Americans.

This is just an effort among many to attract talent in the US, and at this point any country who doesn’t make this kind of effort is basically leaving free money on the table.
