The vilification of Science in America, the drop in students pursuing hard sciences, a hen and egg type of situation, is the prime culprit.

Some people will argue that America is a DYNAMIC country. If we can't perusade students here to pursue the hard sciences, we can WELCOME the best to come here and pursue the hard sciences AND THEN BECOME AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Count them -- Albert Einstein, Werner Von Braun, Andy Grove, etc. were all foreigners who became Americans.

What we have is a multi-pronged problem that is contributing to rendering the United States irrelevant.
