The Biden administration plans to capitalize on the exodus of highly educated citizens from Russia, according to Bloomberg.

Individuals with knowledge of the strategy told the outlet that President Joe Biden seeks to rob Russian President Vladimir Putin of some of his top innovators.

The proposal would work to relax visa requirements for Russians who have obtained a master's or doctoral degree in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) in the US or abroad.

Per Bloomberg, Biden wants to attract Russians with a background in scientific subjects, including semiconductors, space technology, cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, and artificial intelligence, with easier visa rules.

1. Not a bad idea.

Blue states should follow suit and incentivize people fleeing Red states.
