Now, of course, we harass Colombian bankers and Filipino nurses, while just looking the other way at the dishwashers and gangsters coming from (usually southern) Mexico. If that's not discrimination (or stupidity) I don't know what is.

I’d lean towards utter stupidity.
Brought my cousins son here for the summer two years ago.
He had completed third year and was going back to Scotland to finish his civil engineering degree (which he did complete at the University of Albertay - Dundee)
Cost I believe close to $2K for the student visa, not counting the flight, plus even with a summer job waiting, he needed $500 minimum cash on hand, - 1st night mandatory stay somewhere in Manhattan for indoctrination.
He loved the Summer had a great vacation and enjoyed working here.
But he just barely recovered the costs to come legally while five students fellow from the same university (I met them once or twice) came on tourist visas and just worked illegally.
