It saddens me that instead of trying to understand and debate the truth you instead refuse to accept facts which contradict your worldview.

You can't just deny the objective fact that international students pay more than local students and hence their attendance helps to subsidize local tuition.
Whether this is proper and fair is a completely separate discussion from whether it is true. You can't deny the fact that financial aid for US students is substantially more generous.
As for references, you can find literally hundreds of stories about this very phenomenon:
