" We should be poaching the world's talent belligerently" - this is hard to identify. Sometimes not, but most often, yes.
"Every graduate of a major US university gets automatic citizenship." This basically means Universities are in the business of selling cheap citizenship. So, no.
Most importantly: " I'd do is task the Federal Reserve to create a large 'steal the talent fund'"
Wow. I hope you don't mean that! There are 1000 initiatives the gov. wants to be involved , we just don't print money willy nilly!
I should add: yes, 'getting talent' is a good initiative, of course! And it should be facilitated by the government mostly in terms of 'smart immigration reform' - I don't think there needs to be a 'fund'. Private enterprise can definitely 'fund' that by hiring people.
I think if the H1 programme we re-thought so that it was not abused - and there were some kind of 'path to citizenship' in some cases that would be ideal. So long as it's managed properly.
I think the key here is 'intelligent policy' that works well with private enterprise, not a big spend.
