U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, in pushing the new<br>
requirement, is effectively trying to enforce a law that's been on the<br>
books for years. Under the "export control" law, employers are<br>
prohibited from sharing certain technological data with foreign workers<br>
they bring on board without a license from the federal government. It's<br>
not a literal export of, say, automobiles or raw sugar. But the<br>
government considers it an export all the same, since a foreign worker<br>
could look at blueprints or some other technical plan in the United<br>
States and then "export" it to his or her country by simply returning<br>
home and replicating it.<br>
