Sure, we've drained plenty of places of lots of talent for exactly that reason - in labor and in government. There are 535 members of congress, 29 of which were not born here. We have more "fresh perspective" in our government (and in our labor pool) than we do representation of domestic minority demographics, comparatively...and what we have, is a product of that. Fresh Perspective doesn't appear to yield the hoped for benefits. If the president of the US was a member of this fresh perspective, it would just be a +1 to that. Not being born here is not a qualitative or quantitive advantage to performing the job of potus. Granted, neither is being born here, but that's not why we insist that a president be native born, so.
(to be clear, I agree that there's something funny with our insistence, but foreign born talent is not a good argument for that..I'd point to our recent crop of native born traitors as the end all be all argument against such an insistence. Being born here won't stop an asshole from trying to destroy the state, as it might have been imagined once amongst nativist patriots. It provides no protection, just as being from elsewhere provides no benefit.)
