If an industry does not employ the native people in a country, or only enriches a clique of owners, then who cares if it leaves? In any case, this line of argument is malarkey. There is no evidence of restrictive immigration driving away business. Typically you just get an industry with higher capital investments and higher wages.

That's a pretty extraordinary premise. Do you have evidence to support the idea that Silicon Valley only enriches a clique of owners, or that it wouldn't employ Americans? Or is this purely hypothetical?
