I have a lot of these students in my IT classes. You are right, they are not usually better, just financed by their country. They go for an education in the U.S. because it will make it easier for them to acquire a permanent job here or to acquire an outsourced job in their home country.

So you teach a lot of foreign IT students who want to stay here long term after graduation, maybe become Americans
Aren't they being pushed aside by H1-Bs who will work for less? And if not pushed aside immediately then 5-10 years after graduation

So an Indian fellow studies IT here but gets lousy pay, can't pay his student loans after graduation because tons more Indians are coming in on H1B visas

Well, the only way the foreign student can stay as you describe is through..........H1B

Most of the Indian students I knew had no student loans. They were subsidized by their families or by their government.
