One of America's sources of long-term strength is its ability to assimilate foreign talent, argues former Pentagon planning official Thomas Mahnken in the new issue of Saisphere, an obscure in-house publication of the international affairs school at the Johns Hopkins University. "Such immigration could prove to be an enduring source of U.S. strategic advantage," he writes.
