Congradulations to your wife. I was at my wifes campus today and it was unbelievable the number of foreign students that were walking around. I personally did not like the number of arab students.

The arab students are usually pretty dumb. They just come from royal families and powerful business interests. They are spoiled and arrogant, unwilling to learn anything they do not quicky grasp. The Chinese and Indonesian students are a different story. There are even a lot of sham corporations set up here in the US that they collaborate with. They have huge lines of credit and resources, but really don't make much of anything. They are set up just to steal information. By buying domestic materials and offering them for resale to domestic companies even at a price which shows a loss, they do so to get access to US engineers, chemists, factories, and research facilities under the cover of sales calls. A sales person is supposed to know your industry, not the other way around. There is a chemical company in Chicago who has a staff of 650 people, yet they have no lines of credit with any railroad company or trucking firm who would handle any raw or finished goods. They are owned by the Lippo Group when you peel the onion back far enough.
