As reported by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)...there are 1,503,649 foreign students in the United States...and a total of 539,382 of them have obtained work authorization through one version of Optional Practical Training.

There are universities that have 30+% foreigners when the old standard, maybe even current standard, was 5%.
How many of them are being supported by tax payers?
How many of them are being supported by American tax payers?
With the drop off of the popularity of U.S. “college” diplomas, I’m surprised that foreigners would waste their time and money coming here to buy a diploma. They must be coming here to work and vote for the RATS and only moonlight as college students.
How many attend classes? They’re gonna need more of them. It’s they’re lifeline now that Americans are wising up.
Nothing wrong with that. They pay out of state tuition, have to have the money up front, and yeah they get student type jobs too. And there’s 18 million college students in this country, so they’re a drop in the bucket.
Young Americans have no chance in the USA.
There is plenty of WRONG with it. Making US citizens compete with them for work is plain evil.
Who says anybody is competing with them? Most foreign students go home. It’s no different than Americans studying abroad.
The financial incentive to max out your university or college space with foreign students is irresistible.
In addition, large numbers of OPT student workers roll straight into a H-1B work visa job, after their OPT job expires.
H-1B jobs open a clear, straight path to a Green Card, which confers Permanent Legal Residence, which opens the door to legally bringing your entire family to the USA.
One final point - 70%-75% of these folks vote for the Democratic Party when (and sometimes before) they become citizens.
Keeping this 1.5 Million number in mind, in EVERY location, democrats demand college ID’s are accepted for voting.
Yes there’s a way for them to stay. Much like there’s a way for an American studying in Cambridge to stay in England. So what. Most don’t. And again, there’s nothing wrong with study abroad, wherever abroad is for that particular person.
In a nation of 320 million. So a rounding error number of people.
ARE THEY ALSO ALLOWED TO VOTE???
Many public taxpayer colleges have recruited lots and lots of foreign students. Because they usually pay full or higher tuition, more than local American students
It’s a sneaky way to increase revenues
However, they take up seats and therefore a lot of American citizens can’t get in
The administrators (themselves on the public l
Payroll) prefer the extra $$$$$$ rather than serving the people they’re hired to make education available to
Foreign students are keeping afloat our local branch of the State University system, and their STEM departments.
They pay $50K per year tuition, plus all fees, to study engineering and biology, while local black kids from the city all attend for free to study sociology and communications.
Plus, the CIA and globalists love it. Most of them will go home, and they’ve all become willing pawns to US deep-state global media, corporate, government influence
FWIW, my new DIL is from Malawi. She came here to learn about nutrition and received a masters degree. Her father used his life savings to pay for her flight costs to come to the US. She and my son fell in love and have as a goal to return to Malawi to create a school that teaches nursing/medical/nutrition.
She was raised on a rural farm with values that would be considered the same as most of us Christian conservatives. It is also difficult for her to understand our race relations problems and attitudes.
She is quite independent and works very hard as someone who was raised in a culture that expects hard work and self sufficiency.
