I am generally in favor of this , unpopular as it may be here.

And for good reasons

Especially in favor of retaining and recruiting standout foreign students with advanced technical degrees in STEM disciplines.

These are some of the best and brightest people in the world and they are vital to Americas technological future.

They do not usually compete with Americans for jobs because they often are pioneering new technology and manufacturing methods and there is no one else in the world who has their knowledge and skills . Thus they are more often than not adding to our economic growth and building good paying jobs for native Americans, not stealing jobs from native Americans

They are also usually very pro America and they wish to assimilate and be part of our country

IMHO, Tump gets it right on this one, assuming the program is properly structured to recruit outstanding talent - so thumbs up to the orange dude

Exactly my point. Some American dei grads are really weak. Check out the failing rate at ucla medical school.

That is absolute nonsense. Both I, and my wife, can attest to foreign students at our respective schools as being the worst examples of cheaters. I even had two foreign friends in my program tell me they had to cheat to be equal with people like me, because I knew English better than they did.

I went to a top school, as did my wife.
