Exactly. More international students? Priority needs to be fixing a broken system that's already flooded with more immigration, legal and otherwise, than it can handle.
Call me an isolationist on this issue, but after 9/11 we don't need any "International Students". Give the onese here in the USA the education.
And BTW Jeb, spend some time with your own kids!
Fololw the money. Internaitonal students have to pay full tuition, not in-state tuition like some states offer illegal immigrants. The tuition from international students goes straight to the university's bottom line and no tax dollars supplement legal international students. Jeb wants more international students so the univeristy system has more money without increased spending by the state legislature. It's even more important in the graduate science and engineering programs. Not enough U.S. students are enrolling in these programs for the job market.
