Ahhh - it’s not about “education” or “jobs”. It’s about protecting the revenue stream for the extravagantly over-priced education industrial complex, as well as the cheap labor stream for arrogant domestic net-jobs-destroying technologists.
Someone on another forum also said it was more property tax dollars from overinflated home values-overinflated because of demand.
Some of the houses in our neighborhood-and it’s not half bad-look like several families are living in them.
Seems to me like housing, purchased or rented, would be far more affordable without the added demand from millions upon millions who shouldn’t even be here in the first place.
Maybe people wouldn’t need to speak two or three languages, need at least five years experience and a college degree to do data entry and take orders over the phone.
Maybe, entry level jobs would be opened up for teenagers, perfectly good older people who got laid off for cheap foreigners with fake documents or widow women who were homemakers all their lives.
