Paridhi Upadhaya was packing her bags after securing a computer science scholarship in the US until headlines of President Donald Trump's H-1B visa crackdown last week prompted her family in Lucknow to scrap the plan.

For decades, the H-1B visa has been the gateway to a new life: a chance for young engineers and scientists from India, China and other countries to turn years of study into high-paying jobs and the possibility of permanent residency.

Over 13,000 kilometres (8,000 miles) from Lucknow in Dallas, Texas, an Indian student pursuing a master's degree in computer science is staring at $80,000 in debt and an uncertain future.
"Right now, the only aim is to finish my degree, find an internship, and try to recover my debt," said the student, who asked not to be named for fear of being targeted by immigration officials.

These heathens have been educating their critters at American universities and colleges for decades. More than enough have graduated from here with high degrees, heavily subsidized by American taxpayers’ dollars.
GO/STAY HOME AND ESTABLISH YOUR OWN DAMN COLLEGES!
GOOD!!!!
I'm not understanding why we LOAN foreign nationals $80K to go to school. They could just leave and never pay it back. Well, unless a Democrat was in office then they don't have to worry about it.
We have way more than our fair share of them. Honestly, as they’ve taken over my part of the state, it’s become much more rude here...shopping, driving, just out and about in public..I need out soon.

“Hey, marcus, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”
How about Americans with American dreams? Stop importing these H1B workers and train Americans to do these jobs.
Indians are of a decidedly lower IQ than East Asians. No questions about it.
And they cheat like hell in school.
Right! Go live the Indian dream and leave the American dream to Americans!
Don’t care.
Can’t make me care.

The horror, the horror.
Also, HOW MANY OF THESE STORIES ARE WE GOING TO SEE?
So now some more Americans can experience the American Dream!
Papa Rudar, howzabout your daughter stay in Indiana and MIGA?
