U.S. Stance in Spy Case Sparks Concern in Academia

I am the inventor of the technology stolen by Chi Mak, the chinese engineer, and I am not a US citizen.

After the US Navy decided that this would be wonderful for the submarines, the project became classified and l lost my job (or should I say, got fired). The company I was working for, which is not the company that the chinese engineer stole my stuff from (how did they get that.....?......hum.....), did not want to let me use that technology to earn my living if I was going to leave the company so I told them that i prefer to make it public knowledge, and that is how it became public knowledge. However, I developed a much, much better version since, which I never unveilled to anyone. Should I patent it and tell the world how to do it? Then the chinese could go on internet and read the patent and know how to do it. This is so ridiculous.

Not so many people need a virtually undetectable submarines, right? But i still need a job and even today, the immigration laws not allowing me to apply for citizenship, i could not get my job back. So why should I give my real invention to the US government while I am still struggling to find a job in this country.

All the positions in my field of work are in China now. Should I go to China to find a job? Maybe they need the inventor himself to build their next generation submarines, and then give themselves a system capable of delivering an atomic bomb under the nose of the US Navy, without being detected. I just hope that one day the US will wake up and find out that the only way to keep a technological advantage is to care about the beautiful mind living her so they don't have to leave the country to survive.
