It might be worth looking at all the foreign students that the U.S. attracts. I was born in Germany, did 2 years of high school in the U.S. and am about to finish college here, too.
I got a big scholarship ($20k per year), which is subsidized by American students. The U.S. educated me, gave me $80,000 and now there is no easy way for me to stay and contribute to society (taxes?)?
I agree with the author but I hope this bill will at least get people thinking about the screwed up immigration policy in this country.
- SilianRail 17y agoI'm confused... what's screwed up with our country's policy? Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Germany have the same policies??? I've lived in Germany for a year of my life on a work visa from a large German corporation. They paid for me to live, work and contribute to the companies success in Germany (and throughout EMEA for the record). How would it be my right to just quit my job at this corporation and go start up another company just because my original corporation gave me the opportunity to live there. Your contribution is to society is taxes?? Not sure I really follow you there.
- JoeAltmaier 17y agoPerhaps he means to pay back America by earning money and paying his way via taxes. Instead of taking all that education investment back home.
- bjoernw 17y agoI don't understand your point. My point is that American students subsidized my education and there is no easy way for me to stay and repay society. Either through taxes, donations to charities in my local community, or job creation. Germany might have similar policies but I think that's besides the point I'm trying to make about policy in America.
