Sorry, but Rubio is correct. Go to any university or college and visit the different departments. The math, science, and computer science departments will be half filled with foreign student. American student can be found in great numbers in the history, literature, social science, and the African-american studies departments. American students don’t want to do the hard work that it takes to get a technical degree. And that is the truth.

Go tell that utter crap to the US citizen who were humiliated and then forced to train ther foreign invader replacement for there own job ,.
You have some nerve posting the Kar Rove talking point here.
‘Just doing the work Americans went do crap !
Tell that to the Disney ex - employees and that the tip of the iceberg !
“American students don’t want to do the hard work that it takes to get a technical degree. And that is the truth.”
Yet somehow we once had enough American engineers to land a man on the Moon. And that without the army of opportunists and ingrates from a land that dumps their dead in the same river that they bathe in and drink from.
The problem is our public schools are failing. If the students are taught math and science properly in the early grades, then the work isn’t so hard later. If you don’t pick up the proper foundation early on in school, then of course it’s harder to catch up and do the more complex work that builds upon it later.
We need to solve this problem with the free market principles that school choice and vouchers unleash.

Bonnie Dunbar, director of the University of Houston STEM Center, said she continues to see a STEM labor shortage, attributable in part to poor math course offerings by inner-city high schools. Many students, she said, don’t think they need math classes. Others don’t become interested in STEM occupations until later in their academic careers, when they’re far behind on needed coursework.
“When companies get engineers from India and China, it’s because we don’t have a local supply,†Dunbar said.
Of all college graduates, only law degree recipients reported higher median earnings than those with a bachelor’s degree in engineering, according to Census estimates. Similarly, STEM grads are also employed at higher rates than their peers.
This article and discussion is not about those students in other fields. It is about Americans with STEM degrees, compared to foreigners with similar degrees.
Then why do we graduate twice as many Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs?
The reason so many foreign students are in the US now is because A) Our universities are held in high regard, and B)Our universities recruit foreign students for the higher tuition they pay.
Amrican students prefer to major in things like “Film” and “Fashion Design”.
No wonder our students are so far behind the diligent foreigners.
