So now instead of stealing our jobs they’re just killing us.
The reality is even worse than most Americans understand.
Essentially all science and engineering PhDs in the USA receive some level of federal government subsidy - including non-citizens.
On top of that, the killer may have received a subsidy from the Indian government when he first entered the PhD program.
Or, he may come from a prosperous Indian family that desired USA legal residency, so they sponsored their smartest child through USA graduate school.
Bottom Line - a completely average (or below average) subsidized foreign student displaced a completely average American student in UCLA's engineering program.
