This article simply justifies the position taken by (and the performance of) USCIS "slackers", John Ashcroft and his buddies. Now they can come back and say "see this article just proves why we don't want immigrants here". We do not want their brilliant kids to outshine our dimwit kids.
Remember one way to outshine someone is to stay ahead of them by being better and working harder than them. However, this requires a lot of effort. A far simpler and easier approach is to just pull the rug from under their feet and keep them from making progress.
