This is good news. At the moment, universities are the primary gatekeepers to becoming a citizen in the U.S. Right now universities are capturing nearly 100% of the "citizenship cost" that immigrants pay start their path to becoming citizens. That is disgusting and greedy.
With 100K in loans paid to the university, anyone can come to the U.S. on a student visa, make contacts with companies, and eventually become a U.S. citizen. A U.S. graduate degree serves as the primary "citizenship cost" for a lot of immigrants.
Instead of New England universities shaking down immigrants, I would like to see midwestern small towns, red states, small business all get a piece of the small fortune that immigrants spend to come to the United States.
- tanilama 9y agoIf u read the article, it says Midwest schools are getting hit hard. New England elite schools will have no trouble shaking immigrants any way.
- yedava 9y agoAccording to the article, it was Midwest (aka "red" state) universities which have mostly benefited the most from foreign students. Also what visa allows immigrants to skip university enrolment and be directly employed in a small town small business?

The student visa allows one to be in the country for an indetermine amount of time (until their degree is done) and that person is free to obtain employment while enrolled in university
