In these article, Albert Teich gave his thoughts on trumps new policy and his new travel-ban policy. He is a research professor of science, technology and international affairs, this might mean that he gets to be connected with people who are foreigners. His main concern is that, the new travel-ban policy might keep a lot of scientist who are foreigners, from making a long term plans in the United States. It looks like, it is getting more difficult for people to go in and out of the country which limits not only these students and scientist but also a lot of people who could really benefit these country. Listing different successful famous tech companies like, "Google, eBay and Apple", Albert wanted to address the importance of foreigners and how beneficial they could one day be.
I am a foreigner my self so I know how much fear it gives me to hear that a law could be passed and could potentially not allow me back in the country. Although this policy affecting only few countries for now, I believe that with Trumps strategy, this could soon be official to everyone else. This could also weaken the relationship that the United States has with other countries. I agree with Alberts' point because just like him, I also believe that, when we are trying the bad ones from interring this country, there is also a high chance that we are also keeping away people that could have benefited the U.S in many ways. The authors' intended audience are basically the policy makers that stood by Trumps decision and he is telling them to not ignore the cons of not bringing foreigners into the country. To support his argument, he used his job as one of the reason why he believes many people in his field are being affected by this policy. He also stated big names whose companies are owned by foreigners to elaborate the importance of foreigners in the country.
