I'm absolutely vulnerable to the same forces in the long-run (as I noted earlier), although my specialism does require a quantitative Ph.D., so it will probably be a while before it happens. It takes time to build a competitive university sector and the USA and UK remain completely dominant for now. But I'm under no illusion that, as these huge economies expand and improve their universities, competition will dramatically increase. At the same time, I'm not afraid of it, I welcome it.
I'm not offering you or others a solution, more an alternative perspective. It's easy to blame immigrants, but the reality is they've done nothing more than you would do in their position and they've probably seen the opportunity to better themselves more quickly than many people around here spotted the impending risks to their own livelihoods and bettered themselves. Nonetheless, the risk was hiding in plain sight.
