My granddaughter said the foreign students in her lab....were VERY VERY wealthy.
When students from India come to the US for their education, they really plan on staying forever in the US. They don’t plan on going back to India. They’ll stay here and then bring over their whole family.
The ones who come here are the ones at the top of the social strata in India. They are not the down and out by any means as the left wants everyone to believe.
My son said same at his engineering school - very very wealthy foreign, especially Indian and Chinese students. The parking lot for students was filled with high end Mercedes sports cars, BMWs, Porches, etc.
He said one Indian guy in his dorm - whose father owned a large company - went crazy b/c he could drink - he had an ID from India in Hindi that he said was accepted everywhere, no one ever questioned, even though he was underage - so he could buy all the liquor he wanted. I’m sure he eventually imploded...
