who pays for their US college educations? are they returning home with $100K in debt, or are they getting assistance from their own governments, companies who sponsor them, even our government through grants to higher education, etc, etc.
in any case, its temporary. India already is cranking out natively educated IT graduates at a healthly clip.
The same assistance is available to "Americans," yet they are not attending our engineering schools at the same rate as other "minorities." And many of those "minorities" are staying here and taking those jobs that "Americans" claim are too expensive to get. Do you think it might be because "Americans," when they graduate from high school, cannot find India on a map, or think it's a state between Illinois and Ohio? Has Lou Dobbs ever weighed-in on this issue?
MANY of those IIT grads cheated like hell--just as MANY of the PRChina "engineering" degrees are Xerox copies with rather poor forging.
Keep up with the news.
To my knowledge, most Indian students in the US are graduate students. They generally don't pay a dime for their graduate education; they either get fellowships (tuition paid plus a stipend); research assistantships (tuition paid plus a stipend for doing research) or teaching assistantships (tuition paid plus a stipend for teaching undergraduate classes or labs.)
