I watched a talk on C-Span from a democratic convention last year. It was
said that the USA had followed a "low wage" policy in its education system, i.e.
it is designed to produce people to work on relatively low wages for industry.
Which does not work if foreigners will work for even lower wages. Japan, Germany,
Switzerland, France etc. educate for "high wages" and therefore do not suffer so
much from cheap foreign labour.
