I don't know if I agree with the logic in the Science article. Let's say you limit foreign grad students and postdocs. That increases the chances for citizens to get faculty positions, and results in an increase of citizen grad students and postdocs. Now the pyramid scheme fills out again and we're back to square one.
As with the NIH doubling, it seems like this buys you one generation time before it blows up again.
